Assessment of experimental parameters influence on radon concentration in systems with air-water contact
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, considered the first lung cancer cause in non-smokers. The significant environmental and health implications are often studied in systems where water and air phases interact. Accurate modeling of radon behavior is critical in laboratory research context. However, deviation in experimental setups can increase uncertainties in radon knowledge.
This study investigates the influence of key experimental parameters on radon concentration in systems with air-water contact. Specifically, the study evaluates the impact of water sampling points, the sampling method and the total water volume within the setup.
The experimental results demonstrate there are no significant variations in the behavior of radon gas diffusion as similar concentration values and accumulation trends are observed regardless of the experimental setup. This research confirms that changes in these experimental conditions do not compromise radon transport coefficients and models obtained in previous work.
期刊介绍:
The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.
Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
