By Mark Hoover and Mark L. Maiello

Book Overview

Designed for industrial hygienists, air quality experts, and health physicists, Radioactive Air Sampling Methods details techniques for sampling radioactivity in the air. The authors discuss radionuclides found in nature, created or encountered during industrial operations, and those that appear in the aftermath of a catastrophe, such as a nuclear reactor release. They detail step-by-step methods for measuring airborne radioactive substances and include information on sensitivity, possible interferences, and safety precautions for each method and provide the tools needed to perform complete safety analyses.
