Research Projects
Beside commercial activities, RADON v.o.s. corporation has participated in several research projects:
- Improvement of the uniform method for radon
risk classification of foundation soils
- Local radon risk maps
- Influence of tectonics on the radon potential
- Temporal and spatial variability of soil-gas
radon concentration
- Variability of radon with depth
- Determination of soil permeability
- Statistical evaluation of soil-gas radon
concentration data
- Testing of regional radon risk maps
reliability
- Radon availability model
- Radon database
- Comparison of calculated and measured soil-gas
radon concentration and radon exhalation rate
- Development of radon protective measures
- Design and application principles for radon protective measures
- Testing of radon resisting membranes, radon diffusion coefficient
- Sub-slab depressurization system
- Ventilated air gaps
- Effectiveness of radon remedial measures
The results were
