Abstract EN
This study aims to assess the environmental hazards from radon exhalation rate in the sand samples in selected locations in Shaybah field in Saudi Arabia, using passive (CR-39NTDs) and active (SSBD) detecting method.
Radon concentration, effective radium content and radon exhalation rate were estimated in sand samples measurements.
The ranges of the obtained results are as follows: 10.96 to 12.62(Bq.m-1) for radon concentration active, 107.1 to 126.4(Bq.m-3) radon concentration passive, 22.4 to 19.5 Bqkg-1 for radium content, and the values of EA ranged from 6.19 to 31.1 (10-5Bq.m-2h-1) and values of EM range from 0.18 to 0.89 (10-5Bq.m-2h-1).
The results showed that there is a linear relationship between the ratio of radon concentration and the effective radium content in sand samples.
A comparison between our results with that mentioned in international reports was done.
