This study investigates filtration of air as potential mitigation method of thoron progeny exposure. The experiments were conducted in a model room (volume 7.1 m3) which was equipped with a pump and an HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter. Filtration at a rate of 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.8 h–1 during 88 h proved an effective practice in reducing the total indoor thoron decay product concentration. The results indicate that 0.4–0.8 h–1 filtration rate had almost the same filtration efficiency in decreasing the total thoron EEC (equilibrium equivalent concentration) by 97 per cent while 80 per cent of total thoron EEC were reduced by 0.2 h–1 filtration rate; meanwhile, the unattached thoron EEC rose significantly by 190, 270, 290 per cent, respectively under 0.4–0.8 h–1 filtration rate, whereas 0.2 h–1 filtration rate increased unattached thoron EEC by 40 per cent. The aerosol number size distribution variation reveals that filtration operation removes smaller particles faster or earlier than the larger ones. The annual effective dose calculated was reduced by 91–92 per cent at a filtration rate of 0.4–0.8 h–1 while 75 per cent reduced at 0.2 h–1 filtration rate after 88 h filtration process.
