摘要
Radon is a radioactive noble gas of natural origin that may be found anywhere in soil, air and in different types of water: surface, wells and springs. It is worth carrying out surveys for radon in natural water and indoor air for radiation protection as well for geological considerations. The results presented in this paper are from a survey carried out in Transylvania region, in North West of Romania for radon concentrations in water and indoor air. The measurements were made using a LUK-VR system based on radon gas measurements with Lucas cell for water and with track detectors based on CR-39 for indoor air. The results show that the radon concentrations are within the range of 0.9 to 68.9 BqL(-1) with an average value of 11.4 BqL(-1) for all types of water covered within this survey. The indoor radon concentrations range from 26 Bqm(-3) to 415 Bqm(-3) with an average of 138.1 Bqm(-3).
