An indicator that describes the activity concentration of the radioactive inert gas element radon (²²²Rn) in water or air. Expressed in becquerels per liter (Bq/L) or becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³)
Shows the radiological condition of the environment, which is important for the suitability of water and air.
High concentrations of radon pose a risk to human health because radon is carcinogenic and long-term exposure can increase the risk of lung cancer.
Occupational health and safety assessments (drinking water, air quality)
Control of industrial facilities (radiation safety assessment)
Environmental studies (assessment of the radiological condition of water bodies and indoor air)
