Is applicable to equipment used for sampling and continuous measurement of radioactive noble gases in the workplace, in gaseous effluents discharged into the environment as well as in the environment itself. Monitoring by definition is the process of continuous and real-time measurement. The processes of sampling or taking samples for retrospective laboratory analysis are covered as well.
