A new pin-hole discriminated 222Rn/220Rn passive measurement device with single entry face

B.K. Sahoo, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a pinhole-based measuring device for measuring radon concentration in the presence of turbulent environmental conditions has been developed, where the pin-holes act as discriminator and eliminate the requirement of membrane filter used in the earlier twin cup design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of radon emanation factor in Indian building materials

B.K. Sahoo, +5 more
- 01 Sep 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the estimation of radon (Rn 222 ) emanation factors of commonly used building materials in India is presented, all the samples were analyzed for Ra 226, Th 232 and K 40 contents by gamma spectrometric method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling of indoor radon concentration from radon exhalation rates of building materials and validation through measurements

Amit Kumar, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: The results showed that the radon concentrations predicted by models agree with experimental value, and the applicability of different model with d/L ratio was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model to predict radon exhalation from walls to indoor air based on the exhalation from building material samples.

B.K. Sahoo, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: This model provides an alternative tool (substitute to conventional 1-D model) to estimate radon flux from a wall without relying on ²²⁶Ra content, radon emanation factor and bulk density of the samples, and may be very useful in the context of developing building codes for radon regulation in new buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of indoor radon, thoron and their progeny measurement in Tosham region Haryana, India

Prabhjot Singh, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, indoor radon, thoron and their decay products concentrations have been measured using the newly developed LR-115 type- ǫ based Radon-Thoron discriminating twin-cup dosimeters with single entry face, direct radon and thoron progeny sensors (DRPS/DTPS) respectively.
