LoginIn order to characterise the behaviour of radon decay products under domestic conditions, long-termmeasurements were carried out from May 1997 to April 1998 in a typical dwelling located in Brittany(France).
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
The aim of this study is to develop a new technique for reducing high radon level in indoor air bymethod of membrane permeation using a hollow fiber module.
The radium distribution of the soil is one important parameter governing radon emanation.
Different aspects of the geogenic radon potential in a coal mining area in south-western Germany arediscussed.
The use of contemporary radon (222Rn) gas concentrations to estimate retrospective radon-relateddoses can introduce substantial uncertainties in epidemiological analyses.
Exposure to high concentrations of radon (222Rn) progeny produces lung cancer in both undergroundminers and experimentally exposed laboratory animals.
The results of field investigations of natural radiation exposures of the general populations in twostable rural communities in Yugoslavia are presented.
Ventilation systems are known to influence radon concentrations indoors considerably.
The first Norwegian study of historic radon concentrations in 17 dwellings in the high radon areas inNorway has been conducted as part of an international field intercomparison during 1998.
This paper presents the experimental results of utilizing a flexible thin-film membrane as a passivebarrier to radon gas diffusion.
This paper presents the experimental results of utilizing Electro-Osmotic Pulsing Technology toreduce the diffusion of radon soil gas through a concrete slab.
CRR, the Regional Center for Radioactivity, is monitoring Veneto, a region in the north-east of Italy, to trace a map of areas with elevated indoor radon levels.
The effect on fertility of chronic exposure of female Wistar rats in “Avram Iancu” uranium mine to high Radon-222 and Radon-222 progeny concentrations in air was investigated.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of different ventilation strategies for a house and fora subfloor void to reduce the radon concentration level of the indoor air.A steady-state analytical ventilation model is derived to estimate
In Hungary and Slovenia a lot of thermal water occurrences providing mineral water for spas are used for curative therapeutic purposes in cases of locomotor and gastrointestinal diseases.
After more than 35 years operation the uranium mining and milling facilities near Pécs city in Hungary were finally shut down in 1997.
A survey has been made of the radiation exposure of inhabitants in a small new housing estate in theNetherlands, where 101 houses are built at about the same time, but according to nine differentdesigns.
In Kinsarvik, Norway, extraordinary high radon levels in dwelling units are revealed. The bedrock geology was expected to give the answer to why the levels are so high. However, the uranium or radium content is not especially high123.
The effect of indoor gamma dose rate, permeability of soil, substructure, and ventilation habits of inhabitants were studied using data of 84 low rise residential houses collected in an area of enhanced indoor radon concentration.
Several kinds of studies have been carried out concerning building materials.The granitic region can be considered as a significant part of the country.
