Measurement of radioactivity in the environment - Air: radon-222 - Part 3: Spot measurement method of the potential alpha energy concentration of its short-lived decay products (ISO 11665-3:2020)
This document describes spot measurement methods for determining the activity concentration of short-lived radon-222 decay products in the air and for calculating the potential alpha energy concentration.
This document gives indications for performing a spot measurement of the potential alpha energy concentration, after sampling at a given place for several minutes, and the conditions of use for the measuring devices.
The measurement method described is applicable for a rapid assessment of the potential alpha energy concentration. The result obtained cannot be extrapolated to an annual estimate potential alpha energy concentration of short-lived radon-222 decay products. Thus, this type of measurement is not applicable for the assessment of annual exposure or for determining whether or not to mitigate citizen exposures to radon or radon decay products.
This measurement method is applicable to air samples with potential alpha energy concentration greater than 5 nJ/m3.
NOTE This document does not address the potential contribution of radon-220 decay products.
Ermittlung der Radioaktivität in der Umwelt - Luft: Radon-222 - Teil 3: Punktmessverfahren der potenziellen Alpha-Energiekonzentration der kurzlebigen Radon-Folgeprodukte (ISO 11665-3:2020)
Dieses Dokument beschreibt Punktmessverfahren für die Bestimmung der Aktivitätskonzentration der kurz-lebigen 222Rn-Folgeprodukte in der Luft und zur Berechnung der potenziellen Alpha-Energiekonzen¬tration.
Dieses Dokument gibt Hinweise für die Punktmessung der potenziellen Alpha-Energiekonzentration, bei der die Probenahme während einiger Minuten an einem bestimmten Ort durchgeführt wird und zu den Bedingun-gen beim Einsatz der Messgeräte.
Dieses Messverfahren ist anwendbar für die schnelle Bestimmung der potenziellen Alpha-Energiekonzentra-tion. Das erhaltene Ergebnis kann nicht extrapoliert werden, um eine potenzielle Alpha-Energiekonzentration der kurzlebigen 222Rn-Folgeprodukte während eines Jahres abzuschätzen. Deshalb ist diese Art der Mes-sung nicht für die Bewertung der Jahresexposition einsetzbar oder zur Bestimmung, ob die Belastung der Bevölkerung durch Radon oder Radonfolgeprodukte verringert werden muss.
Dieses Messverfahren ist für Luftproben mit einer potenziellen Alpha-Energiekonzentration größer als 5 nJ m–3 anwendbar.
ANMERKUNG 220Rn-Folgeprodukte sind nicht Gegenstand dieses Dokuments.
Mesurage de la radioactivité dans l'environnement - Air: radon 222 - Partie 3: Méthode de mesure ponctuelle de l'énergie alpha potentielle volumique de ses descendants à vie courte (ISO 11665-3:2020)
Le présent document décrit les méthodes de mesure ponctuelle destinées à déterminer l'activité volumique des descendants à vie courte du radon-222 dans l'air et à calculer de l'énergie alpha potentielle volumique.
Le présent document fournit des indications pour réaliser un mesurage ponctuel de l'énergie alpha potentielle volumique avec un prélèvement effectué en un lieu donné pendant plusieurs minutes, et sur les conditions d'utilisation des dispositifs de mesure.
La méthode de mesure décrite s'applique pour une évaluation rapide de l'énergie alpha potentielle volumique. Le résultat obtenu ne peut pas être extrapolé à une estimation annuelle de l'énergie alpha potentielle volumique des descendants à vie courte du radon-222. Par conséquent, ce type de mesurage ne s'applique pas à l'évaluation de l'exposition annuelle ni à la détermination de l'opportunité de réduire ou non l'exposition des citoyens au radon ou aux descendants du radon.
Cette méthode de mesure s'applique à des échantillons d'air ayant une énergie alpha potentielle volumique supérieure à 5 nJ/m3.
NOTE Le présent document ne couvre pas la contribution potentielle des descendants du radon-220.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
