Title: | Evaluating radon loss from water during storage in standard PET, bio-based PET, and PLA bottles | Journal: | Radiation Measurements | Series/Report no.: | /84 (2016) | Issue Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.radmeas.2015.11.001 | URL: | https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S135044871530072X | Keywords: | Radon in water Radon loss during storage PET PLA Surface/volume ratio Big Bottle RAD H2O |
Subject Classification: | 05.04. Instrumentation and techniques of general interest | Abstract: | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polylactic acid (PLA) bottles were tested to evaluate radon loss from water during 15 days of storage. PET bottles (lower surface/volume-ratio vials) lost 0.4e7.1% of initial radon, whereas PLA bottles lost 3.7% of it. PET bottles with volume of 0.5 L, lower surface/weight ratio, and hence higher thickness display proportionally reduced radon loss. Corrections for dissolved radium are needed during analyses. Formulas for calculating degassing efficiency and water interference on electrostatic collections are developed. |
