1、Designation:D632710(Reapproved 2021)Standard Test Method forDetermination of Radon Decay Product Concentration andWorking Level in Indoor Atmospheres by Active Samplingon a Filter1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6327;the number immediately following the designation indicates the
2、 year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method provides instruction for using the grabsa
3、mpling filter technique to determine accurate and reproduc-ible measurements of indoor radon decay product(RDP)concentrations and of the working level(WL)value corre-sponding to those concentrations.1.2 Measurements made in accordance with this test methodwill produce RDP concentrations representati

5、egreeof variability in the results will occur.Variability in the resultsmay also be an indication of temporal variability present at thesampling site.1.3 This test method utilizes a short sampling period and theresults are indicative of the conditions only at the place andtime of sampling.The result
6、s obtained by this test method arenot necessarily indicative of longer terms of sampling andshould not be confused with such results.The averaging ofmultiple measurements over hours and days can,however,provide useful screening information.Individual measure-ments are generally obtained for diagnost
7、ic purposes.1.4 The range of the test method may be considered from0.0005 WL to unlimited working levels,and from 40 Bq/m3tounlimited for each individual radon decay product.1.5 This test method provides information on equipment,procedures,and quality control.It provides for measurementswithin typic
8、al residential or building environments and maynot necessarily apply to specialized circumstances,forexample,clean rooms.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the
9、safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.See Section 9 for additional precautions1.8 This internation
10、al standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.
