Single-aliquot EPR dosimetry of wallboard (drywall)
Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and dose-response curves are presented for a variety of wallboard samples obtained from different manufacturing facilities, as well as for source gypsum and anhydrite. The intensity of the CO(3)(-) paramagnetic centre (G2) is enhanced with gamma radiation. Isothermal decay curves are used to propose annealing methods for the removal of the radiosensitive CO(3)(-) radical without affecting the unirradiated …
