Abstract

Indoor radon retrospective dosimetry can be performed by measuring the 210Po activity concentration deposited on surfaces. An experimental study about the implantation of 210Po on mirrors exposed to radon has been performed. Two cases were studied: exposure to high and low 222Rn concentrations. Results were compared with those calculated by using the activity evolution equations. Experimental results can be only explained assuming additional deposition of the long-lived 222Rn descendants.
