| contents | Indoor radon concentrations above bauxite ground N. Antovich S. Dapchevich V. V. Uvarov P. Vukotich Ciencias de la Tierra Indoor radon bauxite ground track detectors Uranium content in bauxite is generally several times higher than its average occurrence in the Earths crust. Bauxitedeposits in Montenegro are widespread in the Niksich region. Some settlements are built above these deposits, and some detachedfamily houses have basements directly in bauxite ground. Indoor radon measurements in this region were performed in suchplaces, and in places where there is no presence of bauxite. Radon was measured on the ground floor, using cellulose nitratedetectors exposed 3 months during the winter season. The results show that bauxite ground produces a high indoor radon level.However, all measured concentrations are below the tolerance of 400 Bq/m3 adopted in Yugoslavia, except in two houses builtdirectly on bauxite ground, where indoor radon concentration reached 540 Bq/m3 and 676 Bq/m3. 2002 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56841319 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 |
