To determine the potential impact of airborne radioactivity on human health, understanding is required of where in the aerosol size spectrum the radioactive daughter atoms of radon become located. Objective of this program is to contribute to the ability to account for airborne radioactivity associated with indoor aerosols via quantitative descriptions of the rates of interaction and growth for aerosol particles. Progress is reported in the following areas: aerosol electrical charging and radon daughter deposition, effects of SO{sub 2} on {sup 218}Po ion mobility spectrum, and aerosol and cluster coagulation.
