摘要

In NiUka Banja, a spa town in a radon-prone area in southern Serbia, radon (Rn-222) and thoron (Rn-220) activity concentrations were measured continuously for one day in indoor air of 10 dwellings with a SARAD RTM 2010-2 Radon/Thoron Monitor, and equilibrium factor between radon and its decay products and the fraction of unattached radon decay products with a SARAD EQF 3020-2 Equilibrium Factor Monitor. Radon concentration in winter time ranged from 26 to 73 100 Bq m(3) and that of thoron, from 10 to 8650 Bq m(3). In the same period, equilibrium factor and the unattached fraction varied in the range of 0.08 to 0.90 and 0.01 to 0.27, respectively. One-day effective doses were calculated and were in winter conditions from 4 to 2599 Sv d(1) for radon and from 0.2 to 73 Sv d(1) for thoron.
