Publication date: Available online 12 July 2019Source: Perspectives in ScienceAuthor(s): J.M. Wasikiewicz, Z. Daraktchieva, C.B. HowarthAbstractOver 18 months long measurements of outdoor radon in three areas (a total of 69 locations) in England were conducted between years 2015 and 2017 using PADC based passive nuclear track detectors. Special measurement equipment and protocols to counteract unfavourable weather conditions have been designed, developed and optimised for the low level radon concentration.
