Seasonal correction factors for estimating indoor radon exposure
Abstract:
The results of pilot study performed on data from selected homes in Slovakia suggested that the best agreement between measured and calculated annual mean indoor radon activity concentration were obtained using seasonal correction factors determined for winter season December – February. The first seasonal correction factors for Slovakia were estimated on the basis of 3-month indoor measurements using radon track detectors. Further, seasonal correction factors were applied on results obtained during a new, independent radon survey performed in homes during years 2022-2023. In this study, 79 rooms were monitored throughout the year in four cycles based on 3-month indoor radon measurements in areas with high, medium and low soil radon potential.
