Radioactive Air Sampling Methods

Describing specific methods for sampling radioactivity in air, Radioactive Air Sampling Methods discusses radionuclides that are found in nature, develop as the result of a hazard during industrial operations, or appear in the aftermath of a catastrophe, such as iodine and noble gases from a nuclear reactor release. It contains step-by-step methods for measuring airborne radioactive substances, including information on sensitivity, possible interferences, and safety precautions for each method. It also provides tools needed to perform complete safety analysis. This text makes important material accessible for industrial hygienists, air quality experts, and health physicists.
