Abstract

Are given the characteristics of the sources of radioactive radon gas, which is invariably present in the working area air. Features of the radon situation formation in working and office premises have been identified and a methodology for predicting radon levels in them has been proposed. Based on the radon balance equation, the possibility of significantly reducing the dose of indoor radon exposure due to the rational organization of air exchange in the room is shown. An approach is proposed to experimentally determine the air exchange rate through simultaneous measurement of radon concentration and equivalent equilibrium radon progeny concentration in the air of the working area.
