A new concept for passive radon monitors - ¡°radon film badges¡± has been recently proposed. It uses plastic radiators of high radon absorption ability, coupled with external solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD). First experiments and theoretical modeling revealed a remarkable potential for practical applications. In this report we present results of a dedicated experiment in which detectors were coupled with different absorbers and placed in a variety of different easy-to-carry packages. The results confirmed that radon can freely diffuse in the packages. The response of the monitors with different absorbers was determined and a good agreement with the theoretical model was found. This strengthen the basis for further research and development of this new methodology.
