Analysis of distributions of indoor radon concentrations in the regions of the Russian Federation by D. V. Kononenko

“…It should be noted that due to the fact that the Federal databank is a database containing results of measurements taken with different techniques (instant measurements, charcoal canisters, radon monitors and etched track detectors), the lognormal distributions for most regions are in fact contaminated distributions, and currently it is impossible to calculate the parameters of separate distributions that form the mixture. …”
