Description

The concentration and size distribution of aerosol particles and ventilation conditions of the inner atmosphere of the different workplaces have a crucial effect on the ratio between the radon activity concentration and the potential alpha energy concentration. The presentation summarizes the main differences in determining the quantities mentioned above using grab sampling, continuous measurement, and integral personal monitoring. The main focus of the contribution is the possibility of distorted results in environments with a higher unattached fraction.
