13 lut 2024 · The most important natural radiation source is radon, a radioactive gas [52, 53]. It is approximately 7.5 times heavier than air. It can therefore easily affect plastic, leather, paper, paint, and construction materials [54, 55]. Radon is produced from radium in the decay chain of uranium.
6 gru 2022 · The structural characteristics of the selected building materials were determined in terms of mineralogical, chemical, and porous characteristics, in order to examine the influence on the emanation of radon from the analyzed building materials.
29 gru 2023 · This work presents how radon creeps into buildings and reports several technologies that are needed to remove and mitigate the risk associated with indoor radon in existing and new buildings. Next Article in Journal
