2. - Epidemiological assessments (ICRP) - Physical dosimetry (UNSCEAR)
MOTIVATION
ANNUAL RADON DOSE ASSESSMENTS
(mSv)
INDOOR RADON CONCENTRATION
(Bqm-3)
MODELS:
- Epidemiological assessments (ICRP)
- Physical dosimetry (UNSCEAR)

3. RADON MEASUREMENTS Short-term measurements:
- This type of measurements are performed with much more complex and expensive passive or active (pump air sampling) continuous measuring devices.
- Temporal distribution
Long-term measurements:
Passive integrated measuring devices based on the nuclear track detectors, which is due to their low cost, simplicity and characteristics have ability to collect information from a large number of the measurement points at the same time.
Spatial distribution

4. SHORT-TERM RADON MEASUREMENTS
RESULTS:
Indoor radon measurements performed in the August and September for the three days in the living room

5. SHORT-TERM RADON MEASUREMENTS
RESULTS:
Indoor radon measurements performed in the August and September for the three days in the bedroom

6. SHORT-TERM RADON MEASUREMENTS
RESULTS:
Month
Living room
Mean/Averaged from 16 to 24 hours
Bedroom
Mean/Averaged from 24 to 08 hours
August
50.50/58.71
64.96/58.98
September
150.05/66.26
210.74/278.48

7. CONCLUSIONS
The results presented in this work show that it is difficult to estimate the annual radon concentration due to the very complex indoor radon behavior. This task is not trivial and mostly influenced by the radon variability.
