Radon daughter products absorption by filters
Šálek, Ondřej ; Jáně, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Matolín, Milan (referee)
The work is engaged in effect of short-lived radon (222 Rn) daughter products on measurement of radon volume activity in soil gas. Solid radon daughter products 214 Po and 218 Po transform by α-decay and influence measurement of radon volume activity in soil gas. This effect was investigated by experimental measurement of radon volume activity in soil gas at the Buk radon reference site in Central Bohemia. At each particular point of radon reference site, three values of radon volume activity were determined by measuring; without filter, with automobile petrol filter and with micro-fibrous filter AFPC type. Experimental measurement demonstrates that both of applied filters have near the same effect on measured values of radon volume activity in soil gas. The difference between radon volume activity values got by measuring without filter and with filters is low, in order of measurement error. Experiment did not evidence necessity of using filter for measuring radon volume activity in soil gas. Radon volume activity measurement error is in order of several kBq.m-3 . This fact brings uncertainty into obtained results. The absence of theoretically possible high content of solid radon daughter products in soil gas samples may be explained by possible adsorption of these particles on sampling and soil...
