title: Monitoring of 222Rn in Taiwanese hot spring spa waters using a modified electret ion chamber method.
abstract: 222Rn concentrations in some Taiwanese hot spring spa waters have been monitored using commercially available electret ion chambers (EIC). The use of two EIC units for measuring radon concentrations in the air phase and voltage dependent correction factors for subtracting gamma contributions resulted in improved accuracy.
