Electrets for passive radon daughter dosimetry.
Electrets are demonstrated to collect radon-daughter aerosols with efficiencies which are similar to the efficiencies of aluminum discs held at a potential equal to the surface potential of the electrets. The properties of the electrets are suitable for incorporation of an electret into a radon-daughter dosimeter as the passive collecting element.
