Description
In the present studies radon exhalation rates in sand samples collected from Gopalpur beach placer deposit in Orissa are measured by using 'Sealed can technique' using type LR 115-II nuclear track detectors. Radon activities are found to vary from 371.4 ± 23.0 to 800.0 ± 33.8 Bqm-3 with an average value of 549.2 ± 27.8 Bqm-3. Surface exhalation rates in these samples are found to vary from 133.4 ± 8.3 to 287.7 ± 12.1 mBqm-2h-1 with an average value of 197.2 ± 9.9 mBqm-2h-1, whereas, mass exhalation rates vary from 5.1 ± 0.3 to 11.1 ± 0.5 mBqkg-1h-1 with an average of 7.6 ± 0.4 mBqkg-1h-1.
