New alpha radiation detection systems for radon and radon daughter monitoring

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.

When radon is staying at alveoli and bronchial tubes, the collapse of radon creates progeny nuclides (alpha ray, beta ray, gamma ray, etc.). They emit radiation causing a mutation in the chromosome of the cell, resulting in lung cancer. In other words, the main cause of lung cancer is radiation emitting as the result of radon collapse rather than radon gas. In this paper, we connected a Wi-Fi wireless communication module to the PIN photodiode radon counter and implemented the radon monitoring system using a smartphone application. As well as the output of radon data using LCDs on pin photodiode radon counters, the stored data is printed on the PC using wired communication, and the data is also displayed on a smartphone using a Widget.
