Nanoaerosols Including Radon Decay Products in Outdoor and Indoor Air at a Suburban Site

Table 2

Minimum and maximum values, geometric means, and geometric standard deviations for the total number concentration of general aerosol ( ๐ถ ๐‘ g e n (tot)), geometric mean of number size distribution of general aerosol ( ๐‘‘ G M ), number fractions of particles smaller than 10โ€‰nm ( ๐‘ฅ g e n (<10)) and smaller than 20โ€‰nm ( ๐‘ฅ g e n (<20)), radon activity concentration ( ๐ถ ๐ด R n ), equilibrium equivalent concentration of radon short-lived decay products ( ๐ถ ๐ด R n D P ), equilibrium factor between radon and radon short-lived decay products ( ๐น ), activity fraction of the unattached radon short-lived decay products ( ๐‘“ u n ), and number fraction of the unattached radon short-lived decay products ( ๐‘ฅ u n ), for the entire period of measurements indoors (28โ€“31 October, 21-22 November, and 5-6 January), only when the door and window were closed and without any human activity.
