This document describes radon-222 spot measurement methods. It gives indications for carrying out spot measurements, at the scale of a few minutes at a given place, of the radon activity concentration in open and confined atmospheres.
This measurement method is intended for rapid assessment of the radon activity concentration in the air. The result cannot be extrapolated to an annual estimate of the radon activity concentration. This type of measurement is therefore not applicable for assessment of the annual exposure or for determining whether or not to mitigate citizen exposures to radon or radon decay products.Cross References:ISO/IEC Guide 98-3ISO 11929 (all parts)ISO/IEC 17025ISO 11665-1IEC 61577-1ISO 11665-7ISO 13164 (all parts)IEC 61577-2All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
