RAD7 and BigBottle system has been developed, using large glass bottles, but these are fragile and awkward to carry around. In searching for a better solution, we tested polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for water samples storage to estimate radon loss over time. Two sets of experiments with 0.355 and 1.75 L bottles demonstrated that PET is a suitable material for storage. If correction for 226Ra content in water is applied, we can also calculate the rate of radon loss (0.03 ± 0.08 % day−1).
