- W97860265 abstract "Two radon isotopes are commonly found in US homes. Conventional wisdom holds that Rn (thoron) concentrations are lower than Rn (radon) concentrations and pose a smaller health risk in most living spaces. An earlier survey of radon and thoron gas in 30 Lancaster, PA homes found some with elevated concentrations of both isotopes. That survey found some living spaces with higher short-term concentrations of thoron than radon. To improve the estimate of the long-term risk from exposure to these gases, we took both short and long-term measurements in 20 homes. In addition to grab samples of radon and thoron progeny in two different seasons, we measured the long-term gas concentrations and surface deposited activity to estimate contributions to the potential airborne dose from radon and thoron progeny. The following averages were found: longterm average radon concentration 395 Bq m (10.7 pCi/L) with an estimated radon progeny equilibrium ratio 0.24; long-term thoron concentration 120 Bq m (3.2 pCi/L) and progeny equilibrium ratio 0.02. Estimated average effective doses calculated from long-term gas measurements and short-term progeny measurements are: radon progeny 7.3 mSv yr and thoron progeny 0.6 mSv yr." @default.
