This study presents the results of indoor radon and thoron activity concentrations of some municipalities in central and south part of Serbia: Krusevac, Brus, Blace and Kursumlija. Measurements were carried out in 60 dwellings during the winter season. Passive discriminative radon-thoron detectors known as UFO detectors were used. The mean values of indoor radon and thoron concentrations were 82 Bq m and 42 Bq m, respectively. Population-weighted mean values were 76 Bq m and 40 Bq m, respectively. 26.7% of dwellings had radon concentration higher than 100 Bq m (one location had even more than 300 Bq m). There are no statistically significant correlations of indoor radon and thoron concentrations neither with the period of house construction, nor with the existence of a basement. The results of this study represent the first step of investigating radon and thoron levels in these parts of Serbia and therefore could be the basis for creating a radon map.
本研究展示了塞尔维亚中部和南部部分城市(克鲁舍瓦茨、布鲁斯、布拉采和库尔舒姆利亚)室内氡和钍射气活度浓度的结果。在冬季对60所住宅进行了测量。使用了一种名为UFO探测器的被动式鉴别氡 - 钍射气探测器。室内氡和钍射气浓度的平均值分别为82 Bq/m³和42 Bq/m³。人口加权平均值分别为76 Bq/m³和40 Bq/m³。26.7%的住宅氡浓度高于100 Bq/m³(一个地点甚至超过300 Bq/m³)。室内氡和钍射气浓度与房屋建造时间以及是否有地下室均无统计学上的显著相关性。本研究结果是调查塞尔维亚这些地区氡和钍射气水平的第一步,因此可为绘制氡地图奠定基础。
