- 1. Aligarh Muslim Univ. (India). Dept. of Applied Physics
Description
Radon contents in some samples of tobacco, tea and tooth powder have been estimated using CR-39 solid state nuclear track detectors. The Radon content in tobacco has been found to vary from 14.06±1.4 to 89.91±3.3 mBq/l. The Radon content in tea and tooth powder has been found to vary from 27.38±1.8 to 41.81±2.2 mBq/l and 26.27±1.4 to 413±6.0 mBq/l respectively. The present investigations are useful from the health hazards point of view. (orig.)
