AbstractAbout AuthorsReferences
A method for the prognostic calculation of the radon concentration in the building is proposed. The indoor air, enclosing structures, earth foundation of the building, and outdoor air are considered as interconnected elements of a single system. The calculation takes into account the dependence of radon inflow from the soil into the premises of the lower floor of the building on its width and depth of laying the foundation.
