Dust filters were examined using a radioactive solidaerosol, decay product daughters of Rn/sup 220/. An examination with a thermal precipitator revealed that the major part of particles in the radioactive aerosol were smaller than 0.5 mu in diameter. Twenty-one kinds of filters were tested. The filtering efficiency was highest in asbestos fiber filters. A radioautographic examination revealed that the radioactive substance penetrated as deep as 1.4 to 1.5 mm into the filter layer.
