An improved method for determining airborne 222Rn concentrations using EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] standard activated charcoal canisters
Creators
Description
The US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPAs) standard operating procedure for the activated charcoal canister method of determining airborne 222Rn concentrations has some serious problems. This is especially true if the canisters are employed under conditions of moderate to high humidity. The authors have developed an improved method in which the same canisters can be employed, but more reliable results can be obtained under any humidity conditions
