SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Measurements of 218Po, 214Pb and 214Bi in a basement laboratory under conditions of no ventilation and forced ventilation are reported. Besides demonstrating the build-up of 218Po, 214Pb and 214Bi in air, they indicate the maximum concentrations and their variation in the unventilated laboratory. The concentrations obtained are converted into working levels.
