“…The filter was positively charged relative to the unbiased PN junction of a photo-diode detector within a detection chamber. In [5], an alpha particle detector was designed using a commercial silicon photodiode. An application of a silicon photodiode detector for radon progeny measurements is presented in [6].…”

Radon is an invisible, odorless, and chemically inactive radioactive gas produced by the decay of uranium ore. Various types of equipment and components have been proposed for use in effective radon detection. In this paper, we used a radon counter with a PIN photodiode radon-sensor module. Using electrostatic collection and the PIN a high sensitivity radon detector for air developed. The calibration system has also been developed using a linear regression analysis technique.

Radon is a natural, inert, invisible, odorless and chemically inactive radioactive gas emitted from the earth. Because inhaling radon and its radioactive decay products causes irradiation of lung tissue, prolonged exposure to a high concentration of radon significantly increases the risk of developing cancer. For our experiments, we implemented a radon with a PIN photodiode radon-sensor module. Th radon counter was equipped with a Wiwireless communication and radon monitoring. In order to improve the performance of the developed radon counter module, the durability test was performed.

“…Among the wide range of available devices, the passive detectors have been used in large-scale radon surveys, mainly the CR-39 detectors, due to their simplicity, lightweight and low price. However, active detectors working with electrostatic attraction of the charged radon progeny have been developed by many authors for radon measurements [1][2][3][4][5].…”

An active device for radon detection in the air was developed. The monitor operates in pulse counting mode for real-time continuum measurements. The presented prototype has a relatively simple design made of low-price and easy to acquire components which made it possible to develop an inexpensive device. The device uses as sensor the SLCD-61N5 Si-PIN planar photodiode, which has an area of 9.67x9.67 mm 2 , sensitive to alpha particles. An Arduino Uno microcontroller was used as data acquisition system. Signals were observed when placing an 241 Am source near the sensor. The sensor's sensitivity is bias dependent, but the device can operate even at modest voltage. As a result of a one-month test in a rich radon atmosphere, a positive high correlation was obtained between our prototype and a Geiger-Müller detector.
