As a standard manual for environmental radioactivity analysis and environmental radiation measurement, we have\r\n\t\t\t\testablished the series of environmental radioactivity measuring methods. The methods are classified by\r\n\t\t\t\tmeasurement target (air radiation, radioactive materials in the air, etc.), measurement method (instrumental\r\n\t\t\t\tanalysis, radiochemical analysis, etc.), and nuclide, and are systematically listed in a tree format.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t
