Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that countries adopt the reference level of 100 Bq m-3 for indoor radon gas. Adopting the reference level requires a preliminary assessment of the indoor radon concentration. In the preliminary investigation, a cut-off value is useful, which is a value for selecting samples that can be reliably determined to be below the reference level (in this paper, the WHO reference level) using a straightforward method. If the true value was the WHO reference level, then the cut-off value of the PicoRad collector for selecting samples was determined as 80 Bq m-3 through the analysis of the 95% prediction interval.

使用活性炭氡收集器测定室内空气中氡浓度的实用临界值。

世界卫生组织（WHO）建议各国采用 100 Bq m-3 的室内氡气参考水平。采用参考水平需要对室内氡浓度进行初步评估。在初步调查中，一个临界值是有用的，这个值用于选择可以用简单方法可靠地确定低于参考水平（本文中为世卫组织参考水平）的样本。假如真實值是世衞的參考水平，則透過分析 95% 的預測間隔，便可確定 PicoRad 收集器揀選樣本的臨界值為 80 Bq m-3。

期刊介绍： Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
