摘要：
Radon mass and thoron surface exhalation rate of soil samples collected from the surrounding area of Harduaganj thermal power plant (HTPP), Aligarh is measured using an active radon/thoron monitor (SMART RnDuo). The radon mass exhalation rate values range from 27 +/- 1 to 100 +/- 3 mBq kg-1h-1 with a mean value of 63 +/- 17 mBq kg-1 h-1. The thoron surface exhalation rate values vary from 1.0 +/- 0.2 to 10 +/- 1 kBq m-2h-1 with a mean value of 5.7 +/- 2.2 kBq m-2h-1. The mean values of radon mass and thoron surface exhalation rate are found to be higher than the worldwide mean values.
