Different Soils

In the territory of Vilnius city radioisotopic composition of different soils was experimentally determined and radon exhalation rate from the soil was evaluated using these data. Specific activitys of natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were measured. From identified natural radionuclides the biggest quantities were for 40K (263 Bq/kg), the smallest values ‐ for 232Th (5 Bq/kg), average 226Ra values reached 13 Bq/kg. Radon exhalation rate from the soil in Vilnius city was calculated and evaluated. Distribution of radon exhalation rate values in the whole territory of the city is stated. The received values vary from 15 Bq/m2·h (in clay loam) to 23 Bq/m2·h (in sand). It is assessed that of the most important parameters, which determine radon exhalation rate from the soil, are the quantity of radium and the porosity of the soil. It is observed that radon exhalation rate from the soil is bigger than that from building materials. This difference is determined by a bigger porosity of the soil.
