Radon, thoron and their decay products in natural caves with nuclear track detectors.
Alpha and beta activities per unit volume of air due to radon (222Rn), thoron (220Rn) and their progenies were measured in the air of natural caves by using CR-39 and LR-115 type II solid-state nuclear track detectors. Equilibrium factors between radon and its daughters and between thoron and its progeny were evaluated in the atmospheres studied.
