Abstract

This chapter describes the most important measure methods to determine the activity concentration of gamma emitting radionuclides, the measurement of dose rates, and the determination of radon concentrations as well as radon exhalation rates. Several aspects concerning sampling, detector calibration, and uncertainty estimation are discussed.
