The Importance of Direct Progeny Measurements for Correct Estimation of Effective Dose Due to Radon and Thoron

The Importance of Direct Progeny Measurements for Correct Estimation of Effective Dose Due to Radon and Thoron

Radon (Rn), thoron (Tn), and thoron progeny (TnP) were measured in seven inhabited areas of the uranium and thorium bearing region of Lolodorf, located in southwestern Cameroon. Then the equilibrium factor (FTn) between thoron and its progeny was determined in order to show the importance of direct...
