Radon in the Environment of Industrially Polluted Cities in Haryana Kant Krishan1,* 1Dept. of Physics, K.L.Mehta Dayanand College for Women, Faridabad (Haryana) *E-mail: kkant_67@rediffmail.com
Abstract Measurements of radon are important because the radiation dose to human population due to inhalation of radon and its progeny contribute more than 50% of the total dose from natural sources. In the present study radon monitoring has been carried out in the two industrially polluted cities of Haryana using alpha sensitive LR-115 type II solid-state nuclear track detectors. The potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC), radon levels (EEC), annual exposure, annual effective dose varied from 4.98 mWL to 20.54 mWL, 46.1 Bq m-3 to 190.3 Bq m-3, 0.20 WLM to 0.85 WLM and 0.79 mSv to 3.27 mSv in Panipat city and from 5.97 mWL to 21.17 mWL, 55.3 Bq m-3 to 195.8 Bq m-3, 0.25 WLM to 0.87 WLM and 0.95 mSv to 3.37 mSv in Faridabad city. The geometrical mean of overall annual inhalation dose in the Panipat city it was 1.61 ± 0.05 mSv, and in the Faridabad city, it was 1.94 ± 0.05 mSv.
