摘要
The calibration factor of 0.029 +/- A 0.0002 track cm(-2) per Bq d m(-3) for radon concentration measurements was determined using CR-39 and RAD7 detectors. The Rn-222 concentration varied from 2,225 to 9,950 and 12 to 1,002 Bq m(-3) in soil and water, respectively. The highest radon exhalation and gamma dose rates were found in Acid and undifferentiated granitic rocks and Miscellaneous soils.
