TL;DR: In this article, the radon activity concentration in drinking water samples and their annual effective dose exposure in Shimoga district was analyzed using the Emanometry technique, which revealed that 44.8% of the tested drinking water sample had radon levels in excess of the EPA recommended maximum contamination level of 11.1 Bq−l−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of indoor and outdoor ambient gamma dose rates in and around granite regions of Shimoga District, and these measurements were carried out by using environmental radiation Dosimeter ER-709 which is a portable detector.

TL;DR: The radon concentration has been determined in 27 drinking water samples of Hassan district and was estimated by using emanometry technique and physicochemical parameters were estimated using standard techniques as mentioned in this paper, which revealed that 66 % of the drinking water sample have radon contamination level in excess of the EPA recommended maximum contamination level of 11.1 Bq l−1.

TL;DR: In this article, the activity concentration of natural primordial radionuclides, namely 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in different rock samples of Ramanagara and Tumkur districts, and has been studied by using gamma ray spectrometry.

TL;DR: In this article, the radiological protection point of view of radon is discussed and Radon is one of the carcinogenic radioactive gases in soil, rock, building materials, and water.
