| Abstract |
A survey of the techniques developed for measuring 222Rn and its daughters in various media, in particular for monitoring and protection in occupational and environmental situations. Individual sections are devoted to: physical characteristics of 222Rn and its decay chain; radiation protection guides laid down in the USA for radiological protection of the lungs in the uranium mining industry; and sources of radon and its daughter products and typical concentrations encountered in the natural environment and in occupational exposures. Measurement techniques are described: measurements of radon (gas) concentrations; measurements of working level; measurements of individual radon-daughter concentrations; working level dosimetry. |
