Correlation of 210 Po implanted in glass with radon gas exposure: sensitivity analysis of critical parameters using a Monte-Carlo approach

In recent years, 210Po implanted in glass artefacts has been used as an indicator of the mean radon gasconcentration in dwellings in the past. Glass artefacts have been selected in many dwellings and the?-recoil implanted 210Po concentration has been measured using various techniques. Some of theseretrospective techniques use a model to estimate the retrospective radon gas on the basis of thissurface 210Po activity. The accumulation of 210Po on glass surfaces is determined by the depositionregime over the exposure period.
