Abstract

Twenty-five beauty products known to contain natural radionuclides were collected, and their 222Rn mass exhalation rates were measured. The effective doses to workers due to 222Rn exhaled from these products were estimated. The 222Rn mass exhalation rates of these products were below 177 μBq kg−1 s−1 and were almost identical to those of natural rocks in Japan. The maximum effective dose of 222Rn exhaled from these products was 71 μSv y−1.
