Are solid state nuclear track detectors truly integrated devices?-experimental evidence in radon measurements

Radiat Prot Dosimetry. 2024 Apr 20;200(6):617-622. doi: 10.1093/rpd/ncae060.

Abstract

Passive diffusion radon monitoring devices were exposed to a range of radon concentrations and their variations. The experimental results, backed up by the statistical analysis, showed that the radon concentration had virtually no effect on the final integrated exposure results, with the exception for the very low concentration. Therefore, it was proven that such devices are truly integrated exposure devices.
