Monte Carlo simulation of air sampling methods for the measurement of radon decay products

A stochastic model of the processes involved in the measurement of the activity of the 222Rn decay products was developed. The distributions of the relevant factors, including air sampling and radionuclide collection, are propagated using Monte Carlo simulation to the final distribution of the measurement results. The uncertainties of the 222Rn decay products concentrations in the air are realistically evaluated.
