Abstract
Proper amount of radon gas (30±3.11KBq/m3) collected in a tight PVC container with the appropriate engineering dimension using two sources of Radium (5μCi). Complete blood test and the computer scanning for each piece of CR-39NTDs have done before and after exposure to radon concentration (2210±5.1Bq/m3). The results show that the present design has a good efficiency, an amount of the loss of radon concentration during the process of mixing blood component did not affect on the efficiency of exposure technique. Therefore, method of mixing blood component process was successful. As well as, human blood exposure to radon gas (2210±5.1Bq/m3) makes thrombocytopenia, and no effect on red blood cell. Moreover, rate of radon-absorbed dose into the human blood samples is high at 20 minutes.
