It is an establish fact that exposure of high radon is one of the causative factors of human lung cancer. The presence of thoron, 220Rn, was often neglected because it was considered that the quantity of thoron in the environment is less than that of radon. However, recent studies have shown that the dose due to exposure to 220Rn and its progeny can equal or several times... -

Sri Lankan coastal areas are well-known for their high background radiation levels, mostly due to Th-bearing minerals, identified not more than a decade ago [1,2]. The radioactivity of Th-232 in Sri Lanka ranges between 9 and 1166 Bq kg-1 (average 138 Bq kg-1) [3] while global natural Th-232 content in sediments ranges between 11 and 64 Bq kg-1 (average 30 Bq kg-1) [4]. However, higher inland...
