An analytical method was devised for the determination of the radon concentration in the air by measurement of the radioactive decay of the solid radon daughters collected on air filters during a fixed sampling period. The ratio of the radioactivity present at two periods, determined by an initial count immediately after termination of sampling and a second count an hour later, is used to estimate the extent of radioactive equilibrium established between radon and its daughters and to obtain a correction factor for relating radon daughter activity to radon activity. The disintegration rates of the various decay products of radon as a function of the age of the radon conglomerate have been calculated during the growth and collection periods and for successive 5-minute decay periods extending through the first 71 minutes following termination of filtration. A procedure for the calibration of Bata counters for the evaluation of RaB and RaC activities was established. Use was made of this analytical method to determine radon concentrations in the air near ground level. (Author).

This handbook focuses on residential radon exposure from a public health point of view and provides detailed recommendations on reducing health risks from radon and sound policy options for preventing and mitigating radon exposure. The material in the handbook reflects the epidemiological evidence that indoor radon exposure is responsible for a substantial number of lung cancers in the general population. Information is provided on the selection of devices to measure radon levels and on procedures for the reliable measurement of these levels. Discussed also are control options for radon in new dwellings, radon reduction in existing dwellings as well as assessment of the costs and benefits of different radon prevention and remedial actions. Also covered are radon risk communication strategies and organization of national radon programs.--Publisher's description.

Exposure to radon gas, which is present in the environment naturally, constitutes over half the radiation dose received by the general public annually. At present, the most widely used method of measuring radon concentration levels throughout the world, both in dwellings and in the field, is by etched track detectors — also known as Solid State Nuclear Detectors (SSNTDs). Although this is not only the most widely used method but is also the simplest and the cheapest, yet there is at present no book available on the market globally, devoted exclusively or largely to the methodology of, and dealing with the results obtained by, the SSNTD technique. The present book fills this important gap in the coverage of radon measurements. Individual chapters of the book are contributed by some of the most prominent and active research workers in the world in the SSNTD discipline as well as in the field of radon measurements. A detailed breakdown of the contents of the book is shown below together with the name(s) of the author(s) of each chapter.
