Özet
In this work, radon gas concentration in (35) samples of soil collected from Karabuk University in Turkey was measured by using nuclear track detector (CR-39). The content of radium, the rate of surface exhalation and the rate of mass exhalation have been assessed. The concentrations of radon were varied from (16.348 Bq.m-3) to (196.988 Bq.m-3). Results indicate that the equivalent content of radium varied from (0.386245 Bq.kg-1) to (4.654255 Bq.kg-1). The exhalation rate for surface varied from (0.002007 Bq.m-1.h-1) to (0.023031 Bq.m-1.h-1). The exhalation rate for mass varied from (0.000319 Bq.kg-1.h-1) to (0.00366 Bq.kg-1.h-1). All the obtained results found to be less than the corresponding limits for the world. Thus, based on the radon gas concentration and radiation, the equivalent content of radium (CRa), exhalation rate for the area (EArea) and exhalation rate for the mass (EMass) in this area have no risk to the human's health. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
