- Title
The Importance of Nanosize Aerosols of Radon Decay Products in Radon Dosimetry.

Vaupotič, Janja; Kobal, Ivan
- Abstract
Air concentrations of radon and radon short-lived decay products, equilibrium factor, unattached fraction of radon decay products (fun), barometric pressure, air temperature and relative air humidity in the Postojna Cave and in a kindergarten were measured, with the emphasis on fun. Applying the dosimetry model, dose conversion factors were calculated on the basis of fun values obtained (ranging from 0.09 to 0.65 in the cave and from 0.03 to 0.25 in the kindergarten) and shown to exceed significantly 5 mSv WLM-1, the value proposed on the basis of epidemiological studies.
