*Radon was added during the first 3 min (approx.) of the experiment, cigarene smoke was added 10 min before and 170 min und 305 min after the start of the run. The background of old radon in the room was approximately 500 pCi/mi.

Tl

tReciprocal of 0.212 m/min.
$The expected counts from 100 pCi/m® of radon in equibrium wath is daughters are £130 for counter uni D and 3915 for counter unt M.
§Determined from te-ri/éi i using the 10-mil-absorber curve shown in Fig. 6.
