Determining radon entry rates into residential dwellings: Parameterisation data for radon models

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference Publication/ProceedingConference Publicationpeer-review

Abstract

The quantity of radon that enters a dwelling fluctuates depending on the pressure differentials between the dwelling and ambient conditions. This study aims to determine radon entry rates for selected dwellings. The data generated will be used in model simulations to predict indoor radon concentrations based on local meteorological conditions, building characteristics and insitu characterisation of radon entry rates.
