Effect of turbulence and air velocity on radon progenys

In this paper, a simulation of the distribution of radon progeny over the height of the atmosphere, depending on the amount of turbulent mixing and the vertical air velocity, is presented. The obtained results are compared with the change in the activity ratio of Bi-214/Pb-214 isotopes recorded in r...
