This paper considers estimators of parameters of the Boolean model which are obtained by means of the method of intensities. For an estimator of the intensity of the point process of germ points the asymptotic normality is proved and the corresponding variance is given. The theory is based on a study of second-order characteristics of the point process of lower-positive tangent points of the Boolean model. An estimator of the distribution of a typical grain is also discussed.
