The Determination of Thorium Lung Content by Measurement of Thoron in Exhaled Air

A method is being developed for assessing intakes by inhalation of insoluble thorium by measurement of thoron (220Rn) in exhaled air. It has been shown that it is possible to collect the short-lived decay products of thoron, 216Po and 212Pb, electrostatically. The subsequent counting is done using a...
