An analysis of the impact of geology on indoor air radon concentration

Indoor Environments
Radon (222Rn86), a radioactive gas formed by the decay of uranium and radium in rocks and minerals, can seep into houses, accumulating in the indoor air.

Predictors of Indoor Radon Concentrations in Pennsylvania, 1989-2013.

, 2015
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer worldwide. Most indoor exposure occurs by diffusion of soil gas. Radon is also found in well water, natural gas, and ambient air.

Spatial variability of indoor radon concentration in schools: implications on radon measurement protocols

, 2019
The requirements about radon measurements in schools and public buildings included in most of the national and international legislations are generally restricted to certain areas (i.e., radon priority areas) and/or to all the occupied rooms located at ...
