摘要
This paper presents radon and thoron concentrations measured in the prehispanic tunnel of the Sun Pyramid and in the archeological tunnel 1 in the Moon Pyramid. Radon and thoron concentrations were measured using several electret passive environmental radon monitor (E-PERM) configurations and detection systems. Results were in good agreement with no significant difference (P<0.01). Radon concentration in both pyramids was lower than the action levels proposed by the ICRP 65. Therefore, the equivalent effective dose (HE) calculated for the highest concentration was much lower than the action level (3-10 mSv center dot y(-1)). A quality assurance program was improved.
