Local variations of atmospheric 222Rn and 210Pb concentrations in Badgastein (Austria)

222Rn was measured and aerosols for 210Pb determination were collected simultaneously outdoors at ground level near the train station of Badgastein (1080 m a.s.l.), and later on also on the nearby Stubnerkogel (2230 m a.s.l.). Radon concentrations at lower altitude were up to 140 Bq/m3, on the mountain the usual background levels were found. In contrary to the differing radon levels, the 210Pb activity concentrations were in the same order of magnitude for both locations with values between 0.16 and 0.77 mBq/m3. (author)
