Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005352
An instrument designed to measure the concentration of radon gas, an inert radioactive gas produced by the decay of radium in the Earth's crust. It typically operates by collecting air samples and detecting the alpha particles emitted during radon's radioactive decay. These devices are used in environmental monitoring and geological surveys.
