Real-time indoor radon exposure in the city of Zacatecas, Mexico

222Rn and its daughter elements are considered dangerous for health. Exposure was measured to find the radon reference levels in Zacatecas. Indoor levels were measured since June 2000 until June 2001. RM-60 and RM-70 Geiger Muller-based systems were used to measure radiation background. The RM-70 sy...

El monitoreo se realizó desde junio de 2000 hasta junio de 2001. El fondo se midió con los sistemas RM-70 y RM-60 basados en detectores Geiger Mueller. El sistema RM-70 fue acoplado a un conjunto filtro ventilador de aire y fue usado para medir continuamente la concentración de partículas alfa provenientes del decaimiento del radón y sus descendientes presentes en el aire. Las razones de exposición encontradas están dentro del rango de  21μR/hr a 30μR/hr. Se comparan las razones de exposición para distintos periodos de tiempo.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
