Description

Atmospheric concentrations of 212Pb and 214Pb were observed with aerosol samples at Kawasaki. In order to discuss temporal behavior of radon- and thoron-progeny, diurnal variations of the radioactive lead isotopes were determined by low energy photon spectrometer (LEPS). At Kawasaki, diurnal concentration patterns of 212Pb were similar to those of 214Pb. It is noted that the concentration of 212Pb is correlated with that of 214Pb (r=0.84). The atmospheric concentrations of 212Pb and 214Pb were significantly affected by meteorological parameters, especially wind velocity. (author)
