Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In this study the radon activity concentration of water samples from the so called "Thermenlinie" are measured using two different techniques: currents measured with an ionisation chamber setup developed by H. Friedmann are compared with results obtained using a commercially available AlphaGUARD. A fit to compensate for measurements made in non-equilibrium state is applied and the detection limit is estimated. •Comparison and evaluation of radon measurement techniques.•AlphaGUARD and ionisation chamber measurement generally in good agreement.•Water samples from spa and drinking water springs were measured.•Samples taken in “Thermenlinie” region in Austria.
