Assessing the Effect of Insulation Materials Used for Energy Conservation in Buildings on Indoor Radon—The Scale Model Room Approach

Applied Sciences
This study investigates how external insulation materials used for energy efficiency affect indoor radon accumulation, using a scale model room built with ignimbrite, a highly radon-emitting volcanic rock. Two insulation materials—mineral wool (open-cell,

Utilization of radiometric data for mapping primary and secondary sources of gamma radiation and radon/thoron release potentials in Ireland

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundThis paper presents a novel approach to predict and map radon and thoron levels. We developed separate radon and thoron prediction maps for Ireland and introduced a system for producing high-resolution 3D radiation maps which may be used for ...

Ventilation approaches and radon control in Canadian houses

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionBalanced mechanical ventilation with heat (sensible heat only) or energy (sensible and latent heat) recovery has the potential to dilute indoor radon and may be an appropriate first step at reducing moderate indoor radon concentration in a ...

Influence of Meteorological Parameters on Indoor Radon Concentration Levels in the Aksu School

Atmosphere
The radon concentration activity in buildings is influenced by various factors, including meteorological elements like temperature, pressure, and precipitation, which are recognized as significant influencers. The fluctuations of indoor radon in premises

GIS Application to Predicting Indoor Radon Concentrations [PDF]

It would be extremely useful to determine if, on a county-size scale, there might be some predictability to indoor radon. One approach is to make an application of GIS and 3D visualization to explore the radon problem in Fairfax County in northern ...
