Radon and its progeny are the major cause of natural radiation emission and its activity concentration is measured by alpha detectors, such as Solid-State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD). This work aims to present the applications of CR-39-type SSNTD according to the Natural Radiation Laboratory (LRN) and reports in the literature, aiming to ensure the radioprotection of public and occupationally exposed individuals in indoor and outdoor environments. Therefore, it was reinforced that CR-39 is an important detector for radon radioprotection and dosimetry.
氡及其子体是天然辐射发射的主要原因,其活度浓度采用α探测器进行测量,如固体核径迹探测器(SSNTD)。本工作旨在根据自然辐射实验室(LRN)和文献中的报告,介绍 CR-39 型 SSNTD 的应用,旨在确保室内外环境中公众和职业照射个体的辐射防护。因此,可以说 CR-39 是氡辐射防护和剂量学的重要探测器。
