ABSTRACT:
A solution which increases the efficiency of radon extraction from either dry or moist charcoal samples is disclosed. The addition of low molecular weight organic solvents such as methanol or ethanol to liquid scintillation counting solution increases radon extraction from 20-500% over known counting solutions. The increased efficiency appears to occur from increased penetration of the charcoal by the low molecular weight solvent which dissolves the radon gas and the subsequent diffusion of the low molecular weight solvent out of the charcoal and into the liquid scintillation counting solution.
