Influence of Rn and Tn in the surface layer of the atmosphere on gamma-spectral determinations of U and Th

Abstract
Radon and thoron are one of the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere. The distribution of radon concentrations has been studied quite completely. Much less information is available on thoron concentrations in the atmosphere. Significant diurnal and seasonal variations of radon concentrations in the surface layer of the atmosphere have been detected. The concentration of radon and thoron in atmospheric air is determined by their exhalation from rocks and soil, as well as by turbulent mixing in the atmosphere.
