The aim of this project is the assessment of radon emanation potential and radon hazard in the capital of RA, Yerevan. The main expected results of the project are maps of radon emanation potential and radon hazard in Yerevan. The most important applied outputs are:

 

  • (i) assessment of radon health risk from two exposure pathways: inhalation and ingestion;
  • (ii) radionuclide composition and specific activity of natural radionuclides in rocks of Yerevan;
  • (iii) maps of the distribution of natural radionuclides in rocks in the area of Yerevan.
