Abstract：
:The research into 220Rn (thoron) has generated an increasing interest in recent times due to the realisation of its radiological importance in many indoor environments. Though it is assumed that the contribution of 220Rn, per se, to the inhalation dose is negligible in comparison with that of its decay products, this may not be always true. Correct estimation of inhalation dose due to thoron requires a reliable method to measure the concentration of both 220Rn and its decay products in indoor air. However, due to its very short half-life (55.6 s) 220Rn shows large variation in its indoor activity concentration. This makes it difficult to have a robust value of 220Rn concentration which can be considered representative of a house, thus making the dose estimation unreliable. This issue has been addressed in the present study by developing a novel method that utilises the 220Rn exhalation rate from indoor surfaces as the basis for estimation of average 220Rn concentration in indoor air. The 220Rn concentration estimated in this manner can be converted to decay products concentration using a suitable equilibrium factor and finally the inhalation dose using appropriate dose conversion factors. A wall mounting accumulator setup has been developed for easy in-situ measurement of 220Rn exhalation from room surfaces. The method has been validated through comprehensive measurements in 25 dwellings in two different regions of India. The developed method is very good for large scale field surveys because of fast and easy applicability.
