Seasonal Variation or Indoor Radon in Artvin-Turkey

Conference ObjectAçık Erişim

Özet

Indoor radon studies have been conducted in Artvin, Eastern alack sea region of Turkey using SSNTD type nuclear track dedector (CR-39). Radon measurements were done for 4 seasons in 73 dwellings, selected as uniformly distributed as possible. The radon concentrations vary from 21 aq m(-3) to 321 aq m(-3) with the annual mean concentration of 132 aq m(-3) for Artvin Seasonal variation indoor radon shows high in winter low values in summer. The resulting estimated annual effective dose-equivalent due to inhalation of radon for inhabitants is 3.32 mSv y(-1) and the total annual effective dose lies in the range of the action level (3-10 mSv y(-1)) recommended by the ICRP
