RADON INHALATION EXPERIMENTS TO TEST RADON EXHALATION KINETICS
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2020 Abstract Three experiments were conducted with a volunteer to test the kinetics of the 222Rn exhalation after a shorttime exposure to an elevated 222Rn air concentration. Radon concentration in an exhaled air was measured, complemented by whole body counting of 222Rn decay products in a body.
