Model to Balance an Acceptable Radon Level Indoors
Buildings, 2022 A theoretical model is presented for balancing an acceptable radon concentration in indoor air. The infiltration of radon from the ground to the indoor air can be controlled by barriers or by lowering the air pressure at the lower zone of the ground slab.
