A method for determination of indoor radon concentrations using α-scintillation cells

Kobal, I. / Vaupotič, J. / Burger, J.

AbstractRadon air concentrations in dwellings are usually too low to be measured directly by alpha scintillation cells. Thus, a preconcentration of radon from a larger air volume is necessary. A method is described in which air is sampled into a 1.2 dm³ glass vessel by a simple pump, transported to the laboratory where radon is isolated in a spiral glass tube filled with glass beads cooled with liquid nitrogen, and then transferred to a 180 cm³ alpha scintillation cell and counted. Using this method radon was determined in some selected homes in different regions of Slovenia, Yugoslavia.
