Solid-state nuclear track detectors are widely used for integrated measurements
of radon and its daughter products in the environment. However, these
detectors have to be calibrated before use in field measurements. In the
present work, LR-115 type II plastic track detectors have been calibrated in
bare mode in a chamber containing a known radon concentration. The calibration
factor measured for this mode was 125 tracks-cm^-2-d^-1 = 1 WL(3.12
X 10^-2 tracks-cm^-2 d^-1 = 1 Bq m^-3).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
