The Influence of Tobacco Smoke on Changes of Volumetric Activities of Indoor Radon Short-Lived Decay Products

Dainius Jasaitis, Aloyzas Girgždys Abstract The influence of tobacco smoke on changes of volumetric activities of radon and its short-lived decay products was investigated. An increase of radon short-lived decay products atoms attached to aerosol particles was obtained during in smokefilled compartments. In this case larger volumetric activity of the alpha particles was registered. Therefore…

CONTAMINATION OF THE LITHUANIAN COASTAL WATERS OF THE BALTIC SEA WITH 137Cs, 90Sr AND 40K AND DOSES DUE TO THIS CONTAMINATION

Asta Daunaravičienė Abstract Summary The variations of volumetric activity of artificial radionuclides 137Cs, 90Sr and natural radionuclide 40K in the near-shore waters of the Baltic Sea in 2004–2009 are analyzed. The dose rate from 137Cs, 90Sr and 40K for person beeing in water immersion on  the basis of real measurements were made. The level of…
