Radon Equilibrium Factor and the Assessment of the Annual Effective Dose at Underground Workplaces

Atmosphere
The equilibrium factor F is one of the parameters that should be considered when assessing the effective dose based on radon activity concentration. Since the equilibrium factor in various environments ranges theoretically from a value close to 0 to 1, it is expected that dose assessment based on one recommended coefficient value may lead to an ...
