Interlaboratory comparison of methods for determining radon activity concentration in dwellings in Slovakia and the Czech Republic

Three methods for the measurement of the radon activity concentration were compared in a series of measurements in the Slovak and Czech Republics. Two methods were based on solid-state nuclear track detectors, TASTRAK (PADC) and RamaRn (LR 115), the third method was based on a semiconductor detector...

Description
Summary:Three methods for the measurement of the radon activity concentration were compared in a series of measurements in the Slovak and Czech Republics. Two methods were based on solid-state nuclear track detectors, TASTRAK (PADC) and RamaRn (LR 115), the third method was based on a semiconductor detector (Airthings Corentium Home). Seven sites were selected for comparison, the measurements were carried out in 21 rooms in total. The comparison shows agreement in the results within the range of uncertainties in the majority of measurements. •Radon activity concentration was determined at seven sites using three types of detectors.•Agreement between RamaRn, Airthings, and TASTRAK for radon activity concentration below 3000 Bq/m3•Sites with anti-radon measures had radon concentration levels below the limit of 300 Bq/m3
