“…This is why exposure to thoron and its progenies can be comparable to or even higher than to radon and its progenies. According to some recent surveys, it has been found that elevated thoron concentrations can be observed in some regions of elevated radiological risk [2,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In order to measure radon/thoron exhalation, the accumulation chamber technique can be used.…”

“…In Serbia, the specific activities of radon and thoron were carried out using RADUETs at 63 dwellings in rural communities of Central Kosovo, North Kosovo and Prizren regions [59], and at 43 dwellings in Sokobanja municipality (southern Serbia) [60]. RADUETs were mainly placed in old houses without concrete floors that had been built using building materials from the local environment and they were placed in living rooms and bedrooms for three to five months by hanging on the walls to reduce the thoron measurement uncertainty.…”

“…Al though these houses are not ran domly se lected, they are still ap pro pri ate for the pur poses of this study. Only in two lo ca tions the mea sure ments were re peated, i. e. in Gracanica and Dobrotin, due to the pre vi ously measured high in door ra don con cen tra tions [6,7]. The houses are ru ral types houses with self-con tained ground-floor with or with out con crete slab and of aver age age of about 30 years.…”
