Abstract
Radon activities and radon exhalation rates have been measured in soil samples collected from different location of Banda district of Uttar Pradesh in India using LR-115 type II solid state nuclear track detectors. Radon activity has been found to vary from (101.0) to (505.1) Bq/m 3 with an average value of (278.3) Bq/m 3 . Surface exhalation rate has been found to vary from (84.0) to (419.8) mBq/m 2 /h with an average value (231.3) mBq/m 2 /h, whereas mass exhalation rate has been found to vary from (2.1) mBq/kg/h to (10.6) mBq/kg/h with an average value of (5.8) mBq/kg/h. Effective dose from indoor inhalation exposure (radon) has been estimated, which is found to vary from (6.1) to (30.5) μSv/year with an average value of (16.8) μSv/year.
