  • Title: Indoor and soil gas radon simultaneous measurements for the purpose of detail analysis of radon entry pathways into houses.
    Author: Froňka A.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2011 May; 145(2-3):117-22. PubMed ID: 21460368.
    Abstract:
    Detailed knowledge of radon transport mechanisms from the subsoil into the indoor environment is essential for the correct interpretation of results of short-term indoor radon measurements and for proper and effective design of radon mitigation systems. Radon transfer factor time variations have been studied based on simultaneous continuous indoor and soil gas radon measurements within the framework of complex radon diagnosis of individual buildings. In this context, the key influencing factors have been identified and analysed in order to provide satisfactory explanation on radon entry variations under different measurement conditions. Moreover, a new significant manner of radon entry into the indoor environment has been identified and will be discussed in detail.
