Full Description

Because a relatively low maximum contaminant level (approximately 300 pCi/L) is expected to be set for radon in the near future, research was conducted with liquid scintillation counting to determine whether this method of analysis could be used for low levels of radon. Counting with an optimized window and an optimized water-to-fluor ratio resulted in achievement of a lowest quantifiable level of 150 pCi radon/L. Lower levels can be quantified using a longer counting period. Includes 11 references, table, figures.
