Abstract

Spatial distribution of radioactive gasses thoron (Tn) and radon (Rn) in indoor air of 9 houses mostly
during winter period of 2013 has been studied. According to properties of alpha decay of both elements,
air ionization was also measured. Simultaneous continual measurements using three Rn/Tn and three
air-ion active instruments deployed on to three different distances from the wall surface have shown
various outcomes. It has turned out that Tn and air ions concentrations decrease with the distance increase,
while Rn remained uniformly distributed. Exponential fittings function for Tn variation with
distance was used for the diffusion length and constant as well as the exhalation rate determination. The
obtained values were similar with experimental data reported in the literature. Concentrations of air ions
were found to be in relation with Rn and obvious, but to a lesser extent, with Tn.
