- Abstract
Radon, thoron, and their progeny concentrations, seasonal variation in the indoor environment have been measured for dose assessment to the residents for first time using a single-entry pinhole dosimeters and deposition-based radon/thoron progeny sensors. A total of 100 dosimeters were deployed in 25 villages. These values are found to be higher in winter than rainy and summer season which may be due to inadequate ventilation conditions. The average annual effective inhalation dose has been found to be 0.90 mSvy−1, which is below the recommended level of International Commission on Radiological Protection.
