Abstract:
The activity concentration of
222Rn,
220Rn and their progenies of certain working places and dwellings in Baotou city were measured simultaneously. Based on these results, the equipment factor of
222Rn is 0.35 for working places and 0.43 for dwellings, while equipment factor of
220Rn measured at 20 cm distance from wall is 0.030 for both working places and dwellings. Preliminary results show that the temporal change of
220Rn equilibrium equivalent concentration is same as
222Rn which is high in midnight and low in afternoon, and significant difference between instant and accumulated measure result of
222Rn,
220Rn activity concentration is found, with the factor of 2.1 and 1.7.
