Radon gas is the largest source of public exposure to naturally occurring radioactivity. However, radon also a useful tracer for understanding atmospheric processes, assessing accuracy chemical transport models, and enabling integrated emissions estimates greenhouse gases. A sound metrological system low level observations therefore needed benefit atmospheric, climate radiation protection research communities. To this end, here we present new calibration method activity concentrations below...
Interlaboratory exercises are a good tool to compare the response of different systems same quantity and identify possible inconsistencies between them. One main goals EMPIR 19ENV01 traceRadon project is harmonize radon flux measurements based on methodologies. In framework Project, two intercomparison campaigns were carried out in October 2021 at high low source areas. Four institutions participated field with their own systems. Every system was specific monitor (diffusion or pump mode) an...
The purpose of this paper is to benchmark several different radon monitors, by quantifying their accuracy and response time. Radon monitors with characteristics were tested in a purpose-built chamber under reference conditions. concentration the was controlled maintained at stable (2648 ± 85) Bq m-3 evaluate precision these monitors. time analysed for two intervals. To assess varied from theoretical value 0-6441 then 6441 2648 m-3. results study show that general are less accurate than those...
The noble and radioactive gas radon is well known to be the most important source of public exposure natural environmental radioactivity in indoor environments (workplaces, homes, etc.). Consequently, it identify radon-prone areas, where fluxes are high, also develop apply mitigation measures when activity concentrations areas exceed guideline values.However, by climate atmospheric research communities a useful tracer nowadays being used several studies such as improvement transport models...
Abstract There is strong evidence both internationally and in Ireland that the correct installation of passive prevention systems new buildings most cost-effective way protecting population against radon. Previous work considering membranes, granular fill material aggregate layer beneath slab sump system has been conducted to improve protection from The implications research on sumps potential reduce radon concentrations are significant, as if it can be shown Irish building effective; this...
Background: A National Survey of Radon in Irish Schools was carried out by the Department Education and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (formerly Radiological Institute Ireland) between 1998 2004. Then, a remediation programme developed implemented schools with elevated radon levels.
 Objectives: To determine durability systems 10–17 years post-installation to study effect awareness on follow-up programmes, retests were performed 16 that had some form implemented.
 Design:...
