Indoor radon measurements were carried out in 300 dwellings in Kuwait using duplicate sets of charcoal detectors. Measurements were made at three different locations in the dwellings: living rooms, bedrooms, and basements. The results show that the radon concentration in the dwellings of Kuwait was found to vary in the range of 4.0-241.8 Bq m(-3) with ...

This review concerns primarily the health effects that result from indoor air exposure to radon gas and its progeny. Radon enters homes mainly from the soil through cracks in the foundation and other holes to the geologic deposits beneath these structures.

Investigations on indoor radon in Austria, Part 1: Seasonality of indoor radon concentration
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2007In general, indoor radon concentration is subject to seasonal variability. The reasons are to be found (1) in meteorological influence on the transport properties of soil, e.g. through temperature, frozen soil layers and soil water saturation; and (2) in living habits, e.g. the tendency to open windows in summer and keep them closed in winter, which in

Indoor Radon Measurement in Van
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007In this study, indoor radon concentrations obtained from the radon surveys conducted in the Van. Radon monitoring was performed by applying a passive, time‐integrating measuring technique. For this purpose, CR‐39 nuclear track detectors were installed in dwellings for 2 months. After the monitoring period, detectors were collected. In order to make the

Soil radon, permeability, and indoor radon prediction
Environmental Geology and Water Sciences, 1992Attempts to predict which geographic areas should be associated with a high percentage of homes with unusually high indoor radon levels have been based on estimates of soil radon and soil permeability for geological units. In northern Virginia and southern Maryland, it appears that predictions of indoor radon based on estimates of homesite soil radon ...

Some 10,000 people are estimated to contract lung cancer each year in the USA from indoor exposure to the decay products of radon (radon-222); for the UK, the estimate is about 1500. Extensive surveys of population exposure to radon have been carried out in many countries, including the UK.
