Measurement of dose-determining physical parameters (F-factor, fp factor,...) for comparative analysis of outdoor/indoor radon exposure

Creators

Description

The purpose of the project was to measure the airborne natural radon activity concentrations outdoor and the dose-determining parameters [non-deposited fraction (fp), radon daughter products (F, PAEC), as well as the radioactive aerosol size distribution]. The impacts of meteorological parameters (pressure, rainfalls, wind velocities and temperature) on the those parameters and the exhalation of radon from the soil were to be determined. The acquired information was to be applied for an evaluation of the radiological outdoor situation and subsequent comparative analysis with the indoor radon exposure. (orig./CB)

Abstract (German)

Es sollen die natuerlichen Radon-Aktivitaetskonzentration und die dosisbestimmenden Parameter [unangelagerter Anteil (fp), Radon-Folgeprodukte (F, PAEC) und Aktivitaetsgroessenverteilung] in der Aussenluft gemessen werden. Die Auswirkung der meteorologischen Parameter (Druck, Regen, Windgeschwindigkeit und Temperatur) auf diese Groessen und die Exhalation von Radon aus dem Erdboden sollen bestimmt werden. Die gewonnenen Daten sollen zur Beurteilung der radiologischen Situation im Freien herangezogen werden und mit den indoor-Radonexpositionen verglichen werden. (orig./AJ)
