    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Provides guidance for measuring radon-222 activity concentration and the potential alpha energy concentration of its short-lived decay products in the air.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of ISO 11665 outlines guidance for measuring radon-222 activity concentration and the potential alpha energy concentration of its short-lived decay products in the air. The measurement methods fall into three categories: spot measurement methods; continuous measurement methods; integrated measurement methods. This part of ISO 11665 provides several methods commonly used for measuring radon-222 and its short-lived decay products in air. This part of ISO 11665 also provides guidance on the determination of the inherent uncertainty linked to the measurement methods described in its different parts.
