- The particle size distribution in 11 different dwellings was studied during 5-7 days, samples being taken every 15 min. Large variation in the aerosol concentration has been found. Also the size distribution of the aerosol varies depending on the level of activity in the home, e.g. smoking and cooking. The average area median diameter found in the dwellings was 0.2 ,am. A technique for the measurement of radon daughter distribution on different airborne matter was developed and tested. The method is based on the use of an electrical mobility analyzer and alpha-spectrometry of the radon daughters collected on a fluoropore filter. Some results are presented and discussed.

- The aerosol size distribution in 11 dwellings was measured using an electrical mobility analyser (TSI 3030). Large variations in the aerosol concentration, e.g. in connection with cooking and smoking were detected both within a single dwelling and between different dwellings. A typical size distribution shows an area median diameter of 0.2 µm with a geometrical standard deviation of about 2. Variations in the particle size distribution were observed, e.g. cooking decreases the median size of the particles whilst smoking increases the size. Through a modification of the TSI 3030 the activity of the radon daughters distributed on different particle sizes can be assessed. Measurements were performed both in the laboratory and in a dwelling showing an activity distribution close to the particle area distribution. Large variations in the unattached fraction of radon daughters due to variations in the aerosol concentration of the dwelling were observed.
