Study of filterable materials and protection instruments by the use of radioactive aerosols; Etude de materiaux filtrants et d'appareils de protection a l'aide des aerosols radioactifs

Abstract

Many filtration problems can be studied by means of radioactive aerosols. For the investigations described in this paper we have chosen the solid disintegration products of radon, the radioactive gas formed from radium, because of the facilities of generation and measurement it offers. Radon and its daughters are in fact always present in the atmosphere in sufficient concentration for certain tests. In order to improve the sensitivity of the measurements, radon from uranium ore can be used. The technique of measuring by counting {alpha} particles is rapid and easy to employ. We have thus been able to define a test for filterable substances, and to check filtering installation and individual protection instruments.
