- Abstract
This study examines 52 water samples from diverse locations in the Dehradun district, measuring radon activity concentrations with a scintillation-based monitor. The findings indicate an average concentration of 33.97 Bq/L, ranging from 3.35 to 99.25 Bq/L. Beyond this, the research estimates annual effective ingestion (µSv/y), inhalation (µSv/y), and total (µSv/y) doses attributed to radon in the drinking water samples, offering insights into potential health risks. Additionally, the study explores spatial patterns in the dataset, providing a geographic perspective on radon distribution across the region. This spatial analysis enhances our understanding of localised exposure risks, contributing valuable information for public health and environmental considerations in the Dehradun district.
