摘要
Soil gas and indoor radon concentrations have been measured around Jari in Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India, to study their relationship with rite local geology. Both soil gas and indoor radon concentrations were found to be higher near structurally controlled uranium mineralization, Indoor radon levels in the houses of the study area are considerably higher than the ICRP recommended value of 200 Bq m(-3). The high indoor radon concentration found may be attributed to the geology of the area. This area needs more detailed investigation as it may be one of the areas of high radon risk in India.
