摘要: Measurements of the effective dose through inhalation from radon and its progeny are important for human health since they contribute more than 50% total radiation natural sources.In consequence this has been identified as second leading cause lung cancer after smoking. In present study monitoring carried out in some typical Indian dwellings made a variety materials, including fly ash bricks, fired mud stones, concrete blocks mud, using alpha sensitive LR-115 type II solid-state nuclear track detectors. The potential energy concentration, annual exposure, lifetime fatality risk brick varies 9.34mWL to 21.24mWL with an average 13.11 ± 0.63mWL; 86.48Bq·m -3to 196.66Bq·m -3with 122.42 6.16Bq·m -3; 0.385WLM 0.875WLM 0.54 0.026WLM; 1.49mSv 3.38mSv 2.09 0.10mSv 1.15 10 -4to 2.62 -4with aver...
