“…Soil radon exhalation rate data is limited in Turkey: it is only performed for several locations by several authors by using track detectors (CR-39 and LR-115 type II Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors-SSNTD) and by gamma spectroscopy methods as given in the Table 1 [5,[16][17][18]. Tablo 1.…”

The radon area exhalation rate and mass exhalation rate of the soil samples collected from five different depths from soil surface with 20 cm intervals of a construction site at Kütahya, Turkey was determined by using the E-Perm detectors. Accumulator method is used to determine the radon concentration of the soil samples. Radon concentration of the soil samples were measured between 34 ± 4.4 Bq.m-3 to 86 ± 6.8 Bq.m-3 with an average value of 48.6 ± 5.1 Bq.m-3 for five days analysis time. Radon area exhalation rate of the soil samples were calculated between 163.7 ± 21.3 and 413.1 ± 32.6 mBq.m-2.h-1 with an average of 233.2 ± 24.4 mBq.m-2 .h-1. Radon mass exhalation rate of the soil samples were found between 32.9 ± 4.3 to 83 ± 6.6 mBq.kg-1.h-1 with a mean value of 46.9 ± 4.9 mBq.kg-1.h-1. The radon contribution to the indoor air from soil samples is estimated as 6.5 Bq.m-3.

In this research, the results of radon concentration, surface and mass exhalation rates, radium concentration, effective dose rate and the alpha index have been investigated in a number of 198 soil samples that have been collected from various residential locations of Halfa Aljadida area, Sudan. The can technique, containing CR-39 have been used. From our results, the average value of soil gas radon concentration was found to be 1.96±0.22 kBq·m−3. The average values of surface and mass exhalation rates were 1.73±0.19 Bq·m−2·h−1 and 34.79±3.87 mBq·kg−1·h−1, respectively. The radium concentration average value was 8.06±0.90 Bq·kg−1. While the average value of the effective dose rate was recorded to be 54.69±6.11 mSv·y−1. The average value of alpha index of studied samples was (4.03±0.45)×10−2. From the study, a good positive and linear correlation between radium concentration, surface and mass exhalation rates of soil samples were present. In addition to that, a positive and linear correlation between radium and radon concentrations was found. Finally, a comparison between the results and other findings was conducted and the results imply the fact that the area under consideration is safe as if the health hazard are mentioned.
