Radon and Radon Progeny in the Carlsbad Caverns [PDF]
Aerosol Science and Technology, 1997 ABSTRACT Measurements were made in July 1994 to determine air exchange rate, aerosol characteristics, radon concentrations, and radon progeny activity size distributions in the Carlsbad Caverns. The measured radon concentrations were stable at a level of 1821 ± 55 Bq m−3 (mean ±SD).
