Abstract

The distribution of ²²⁰Rn atoms in a room was derived from the diffusion equation. The activity concentrations of ²¹²Pb and ²¹²Bi were obtained in relation to ²²⁰Rn exhalation rate from a concrete wall. Near the surface of the concrete wall, the radiation exposure due to inhalation of ²²⁰Rn decay products may be significant in some cases.
