Description

The indoor radon level in terms of potential alpha energy exposure (PAEE) has been measured in several dwellings in the Rajshahi region of Bangladesh using solid state nuclear track detectors. The geometric mean value of PAEE from present set of measurements has been found to be 7.26 ± 1.98 mWL. (author)
