✦ Synopsis

By using a simple air filter technique, the fractions of aerosol and gaseous components were measured for individual nuclides formed in the air of a high energy accelerator tunnel. The size distributions for 'Be, 24Na and j*S aerosols were also measured by using a diffusion battery and found to be log-normal with a geometric mean radius of about 28 nm; the radioactive aerosol formation was adequately explained by simple attachment reactions
