Abstract
An approach for a precise retrospective assessment of the indoor radon exposure using commercial compact discs (CDs) is proposed. It is based on the remarkable radon absorption and α track-etch properties of polycarbonate — the basic material of the CDs. The experimental results indicate that the useful range of this approach is able to cover practically the entire range of indoor 222Rn concentrations.
