Description
Radon and its daughter products are the major sources of radiation exposure and recognized as one of the health hazards for mankind. Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTD) are widely used for measurements of indoor radon, thoron and their progeny levels. The indoor radon, thoron and their progeny levels in and around petroleum mines (Oil India Limited) of Duliajan area are studied by using SSNTDs (LR115, type-II) in plastic twin chamber dosimeter cups (BARC type) for a one complete year. The paper presents the levels of indoor radon and thoron, radon and thoron progenies and estimated inhalation dose for the inhabitants of Township of Duliajan. (author)
