Environmental Air Dosimetry: Radon Detection and Measurement

The information discussed in this book is an attempt to present the entire subject for radon and measurement of pollution in environmental. Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (CR-39) is used to describe the behavior of radiation shipped, radiation dose and determine a possible radioactive contamination. The environment that surrounds us contains small amounts of radioactive (unstable)elements or radionuclides (U, Th)that are derived from primordialand secondary cosmogenic sources. In addition to natural radio- active materials, technologically generated radioactive materials and man-made (artificially produced) radionuclides have been introduced into ecosystems due to the proliferation of different nuclear applications in industry, medicine, and research.
