Multi-channel parallel sampling and algorithmic analysis of radon daughter aerosols' activity size distribution
摘要
In this study, we developed a method to measure radon daughter aerosols size distributions by combining wire mesh screens with an inertial impactor in a parallel sampling setup. The deviations between theoretical and actual cut-off diameters across the six channels were within 10%. Under high radon conditions, the concentrations of 218Po, 214Pb, 214Bi, and their equilibrium equivalent concentration (EEC) increased progressively with cut-off diameter. Both experimental data and EM algorithm simulations revealed a bimodal size distribution. These results demonstrate that the method provides high-resolution activity data for accurate respiratory deposition modeling.
