Measurement of radon decay product concentrations in South Australian cave systems

  • 1. South Australian Health Commission, Adelaide, SA (Australia)

Description

Measurements of radon decay product concentrations have been conducted for periods of up to 14 days in three South Australian cave systems using a continuous monitor. The dependence of radon decay product concentrations on geology, cave use and surface atmospheric conditions is examined. The estimation of doses to workers in these caves is also discussed. 3 refs., 4 figs
