Abstract
In this work, measurements of radon, thoron, and their progeny in dwellings and measurements of radon in air of Al-Haswaa city were displayed using SSNTD detection technique, which has a very low detection limit. The radon concentration were varied from 34.736 to 55.789 Bq.m−3 with average value 47.60 Bq.m−3 while the thoron concentration varied from 20.526 to 61.513 Bq.m−3 with average value 33.552 Bq.m−3. The annual effective dose from the corresponding measured concentration of radon and thoron in the various dwellings were varied from 1.704 to 2.949 mS.y−1 with average value 2.061 mSv.y−1, which is within the recommended ICRP intervention level of 3 -10 mSv.y−1.
