Measurements of the absorption of gamma radiation in air have been made, under conditions designed to simulate those encountered in airborne radioactive surveys. The large thicknesses of air involved were replaced by thicknesses of a few inches of water. A study of the literature showed that varying values of absorption coefficients were quoted. The values obtained agree with some of those previously published.
