Simple compact system for the extraction of radon from water samples

Journal Article · · Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)
This paper describes a compact system for the extraction of radon from water samples for subsequent quantitation. The system can accommodate samples having different volumes. The volumes tested ranged from 130 to 455 mL. The limit of detection of the 155 mL sample, based upon a counting time of 1000 min, is 0.034 Bq/L (0.91 pCi/L) of water.
