Indoor radon (222Rn), thoron (220Rn) and their progeny concentrations have been measured in different types of buildings at different locations in different dwellings in different seasons in Hassan city, Karnataka, using time-integrated passive radon dosemeters containing LR-115 Type II solid-state nuclear track detectors. The annual effective dose due to radon and thoron has been estimated. The activity concentrations were observed to be highest in winter and lowest in summer, and the data also shows that bathrooms and kitchens have significantly higher radon-thoron concentrations and annual effective doses.
在卡纳塔克邦哈桑市的不同类型的建筑物、不同位置的不同住宅、不同季节中，使用含有 LR-115 型 II 固体核径迹探测器的时间积分式无源氡剂量计，测量了室内氡（222Rn）、钍射气（220Rn）及其子体浓度。估算了由氡和钍射气引起的年有效剂量。观测到的浓度在冬季最高，在夏季最低，数据还表明，浴室和厨房的氡-钍浓度和年有效剂量明显更高。
