Radon daughters in the occupants of a house with an unusually high concentration of airborne radon

Creators

Description

The residents of a house which has high radon concentrations contain easily measurable levels of radon daughters (typically approx. 400 Bq of 214Bi). The results of the measurements are reported and some calculations of absorbed dose to lung, and of the growth of 210Pb in vivo are presented. The relevance of the findings to the problem of assay of plutonium in lung is also discussed
