Apparatus and method for measuring radon
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for measuring Radon progeny. The apparatus moves air through a filter and thereby collects Radon progeny on the filter and detects radiation from the collected progeny using a semiconductor detector. The apparatus might use a filter that is permanently attached to a filter holder, which aids in miniaturizing the detection system. The apparatus might determine the equivalent equilibrium Radon concentration and possibly the Radon concentration. The apparatus is suited for measuring Radon relatively fast. The disclosure also relates to a method for measuring Radon using the apparatus, where a measurement is performed at a place where air movement is unlikely.
