The present paper describes field performance of two different passive radon monitor devices formed, respectively, by a CR-39 track detector enclosed in a diffusion chamber and a cellulose nitrate detector (LR-115) in a heat-sealed polyethylene bag. The most important scope of these investigations was to study the performance of these detectors directly in the field. To this end, two different types of radon monitors mentioned above have been exposed simultaneously in 100 school rooms within the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia. Finally, the accuracy of their responses has been evaluated by exposing them under extreme humidity conditions and/or together with other radon measurement instruments.
