Indoor concentrations of Rn-222 and Rn-220 descendents: absorbed doses
Description
Alpha activity due to Radon and Thorium B and their descendents in indoor air were measured and absorbed doses to the respiratory tract calculated. In the absence of ventilation the absorbed dose is very high, about 1500 mrem/year, while in normally ventilated rooms the dose is comparable to that due to outdoor exposure
