摘要：

Radon in groundwater and their annual effective dose in the Ashanti region of Ghana have been determined using the continuous grab sampling technique and an AB-5 detector. Mean levels of radon were in the range of 0.51-46.16 Bq L-1. Effective annual doses ranged from 0.18-16.16, 0.13-12.08 and 0.09-8.31 mu Sv y(-1) for infants, children and adults, respectively. These values are significantly lower than the reference level of 0.1 mSv y(-1) recommended by the WHO and United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation for members of the public.
