Application of numerical modelling for the better design of radon preventive and remedial measures
Original language description
The main aim of the presented work was to verify, whether soil gas radon concentrations measured directly on building sites at a depth of 0.8 m below ground level and used in several countries for the design of protective measures against radon from thesoil are in agreement with concentrations measured under houses after they had been built on a corresponding site. The correlation between sub-slab concentrations and concentrations measured at a depth of 0.8 m below the uncovered soil surface has been studied using a numerical simulation with the help of the computer program Radon2D. Numerical predictions showed that radon concentrations under the houses could be significantly different from concentrations measured on the building site and used for theassessment of radon risk categories. The highest differences were predicted for soil profiles with highly permeable upper layers.
