Abstract	Between February 2018 and February 2020, measurements were made of the activity of the air in the ISIS synchrotron room using a shielded HPGe gamma-ray detector located well outside the synchrotron room, air from the synchrotron room being piped to the detector through a long length of air ducting hose. Overall, more than two thousand separate gamma-ray spectra were recorded. Specific activities were obtained for 7Be, 11C, 13N, 38Cl, 39Cl, 40Cl and 41Ar, likely radionuclide production routes were identified, and radiation dose rates from submersion in synchrotron room air were obtained. In addition, analyses of many neutron-capture lines were made.
