| Abstract: | The inhalation of radon takes place both in industry and in natural conditions (by far the major part of the natural radiation dose is due to radon). The question of computing the dose due to inhalation of radon is therefore of practical interest.This paper gives an analytical expression for A (t) — the-ray activity of RaC in the inhalation of radon — and demonstrates a method of computing the mean coefficient of retention of short-lived products of radon decay. The link between A(t) and the value of the integral absorbed dose due to Rn, RaA, RaC is established; formulas are given for computing the dose due to long-lived products of radon decay. |
