When capturing open-air terrestrial tracks they are more or less uranium and thorium detectors.
Might be worth pointing out the principle reason preventing radon removal from a click counter, no matter how sensitive, is the lack of a channeled spectrum bucketing counts by energy level, and the main reason cosmic cannot be removed is the lack of channeled stacked height descent readings allowing a ground level current cosmic estimate.

and Potassium also- just all bundled together as a total count with no discernment.
Still, perhaps one day in the future, just as modern GPS carry a coarse ground / ellipsoid separation model in order to return 0 elevation at the seashore, perhaps rad counters will carry a coarse global radiation background model to focus on counts over and above the expected.
( again, unlikely due to lack of real sensitivity and channel bucketing )
