In Situ Airborne Radon Monitoring for Standards Compliance with Osha-nrc-epa

In situ radon monitoring is necessary to characterize and qualify workplace and other environments in order to determine the need for occupational exposure assessments, to demonstrate compliance with standards and to verify the effectiveness of mitigation efforts. A web-based, energy sensitive electrostatic chamber radon monitoring system, developed at the University of Guelph, can be used to accomplish such occupational and environmental monitoring needs. This presentation illustrates the application of this monitoring system to radon monitoring challenges such as dynamic surveillance to define restricted "airborne radioactive areas", assessing the need for radon exposure monitoring of workers via real-time radon concentration measurements, and performing this monitoring
