Abstract
Rn-222 concentrations in some Taiwanese hot spring spa waters have bee n monitored using commercially available electret ion chambers (EIC). The use of two EIC units for measuring radon concentrations in the air phase and voltage dependent correction factors for subtracting gamma contributions resulted in improved accuracy.
