  • Title: Elevation correction factors for E-PERM radon monitors.
    Author: Kotrappa P, Stieff LR.
    Journal: Health Phys; 1992 Jan; 62(1):82-6. PubMed ID: 1727416.
    Abstract:
    E-PERM radon monitors are based on the principle of electret ion chambers and are usually calibrated in a standard radon chamber located at sea level. Corrections are needed if the monitors are used at elevations other than sea level. These were experimentally determined for three models of commercially available electret ion chambers (E-PERM) as functions of elevation above sea level. These corrections are minor and should be applied for obtaining more accurate results.
