In this paper, the CR-39 SSNTD solid track detector box dosimeter and BH1936 low background multi-channel γ spectrometer were used to measure radioactivity level in the two traditional vegetable greenhouses in Cangzhou, Hebei Province and a modern glass greenhouse in University of South China. The results show that the average radon concentrations in the three greenhouses are 136 Bq/m 3 , 89 Bq/m 3 , 8.8 Bq/m 3 , respectively. The specific activities of 40 K, 232 Th and 226 Ra in the soil of the first two are high, and the average effective do...
