| contents | Thoron: ignored and underestimated in the big shadow of radon - an example from China Jens Wiegand Sebastian Feige Ciencias de la Tierra radon China loess Thoron dose rate 222Rn and 220Rn measurements were carried out in cave dwellings in Central China, which are dug in loess sediments. Mostare constructed in a traditional style, with a floor made of loess. Inhabitants are exposed to an annual dose rate of approx. 17 mSv,mainly due to the inhalation of 220Rn decay products. Some 30 - 40 millions Chinese are estimate to be living in cave dwellings,probably the largest population group with very high radiation exposure world-wide. This contribution suggests a need to conductfurther radiobiological or epidemiological investigations. 2002 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56841309 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.3 Vol.41 |
