      The present study focuses on the issue and investigation of exhalation and emanation of radon and thoron from the soil sample of the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India which is located in the upper Himalayan belt. A stratified random sampling method was used to collect the soil samples from 30 different villages in the Pithoragarh district. The averaged radon mass exhalation rates were found to be 65.05 ± 2.88 mBq/Kg/h and the surface exhalation rate is 11.17 ± 0.44 Bq/m2/s for thoron respectively. The data has been analyzed using simple linear regression equations to determine the influence of the various environmental factors on the emission of radon and thoron. Correlation studies have also been performed in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
