Abstract
Radon α-activity concentrations have been measured inside and outside various building materials by combining a calculational method with the solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) technique. Radon emanation coefficients of the studied materials have been evaluated. A new calibration method for determining the radium (226Ra) and thorium (232Th) specific activities of the considered building materials has been developed. The radon production rates per unit volume of the studied materials have been evaluated. The influence of the material porosity on the radon emanation coefficient and radon production rate have been investigated.
