Investigation of the Indoor Aerosol and its Effect on the Attachment of Radon Daughters
A system that allows automatic measurement of the aerosol size distribution between 0.012 and 0.85 µm., is described. This system is used for the measurement of the indoor aerosol in two selected houses. These first measurements allow the relationship between outdoor and indoor aerosol to be established, and some indoor source terms to be characterised. From the aerosol size distributions, attachment rates and active size distributions are calculated and the validity of these calculations is discussed.
