In this work we present the building and characterisation of a radon emanation source using a watch with radioluminescent paint containing ²²⁶Ra. The source with 179±9 kBq 226Ra was characterised for different air flow rates between 0.05 L/min and 2 L/min. The mean radon emanation coefficient was 0.54 ± 0.19 while a dependence of radon emanation on relative air humidity was discovered.enRadonRadon Emanation SourceRadioluminescence660 - Technische Chemie05 - Forschungs- oder Arbeitsbericht
