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.

Radon kinetics in a natural indoor radon chamber
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 An unusual 180 m3 storage room in the basement of a two-story laboratory building is unventilated, and separated from occupiable rooms by double steel doors. The space completely borders on soil through the concrete floor and two of its concrete walls.

Radon-thoron measurements in air and soil from some districts of northern part of India [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2015 Radon, thoron and their progenies in the indoor environment are considered as one of the health hazards. The alpha emitting nature of these gases made it possible to detect in indoor environment with the help of nuclear track detector techniques.
