Several methodologies for radon concentration measurements have been used for monitoring radon in homes and workplaces to minimize health hazards due to indoor radon exposure. One of them is the Nuclear Track Methodology (NTM), commonly used for passive long-term measurements. The LR-115 type II (cellulose nitrate), as an NTM’s detector, is often located inside a diffusion chamber. The set formed by the detector and the chamber hereinafter will be called a monitor. Commercial monitors, e.g., RadOUT , Radosys, NRPB, are routinely used for radon measurements; they are calibrated in Certified and/or Accredited Laboratories. However, many laboratories have developed their own monitors, varying some characteristics as geometric shapes, dimensions, and material properties. They also do not have access to calibrate them in Certified and/or Accredited Laboratories. In the present thesis, we st...
