  • Analyzed the impact of varying aerosol concentrations and size distributions on calibration.

    • Main Results:

    • The radon chamber offers a controlled environment for calibrating radon measurement devices.
    • Environmental factors like temperature and humidity can be precisely managed.
    • High concentrations of ultrafine particles (<0.1 μm) can reduce the sensitivity of calibration equipment by tens of percent.

    Conclusions:

    • The described radon chamber is a valuable tool for accurate calibration of radon monitoring equipment.
    • Understanding and controlling aerosol conditions are essential for reliable radon measurements.
    • Further research into mitigating the effects of ultrafine particles on calibration is warranted.
