AbstractAbout the AuthorReferences
One of the main signs of violation of the ecological balance between natural factors and human activity is the increasing of the radiation background, created by both natural and artifi- cial (anthropogenic) sources of radiation. The mechanism of effect of radon and short-lived daughter products of radon on human beings, the ways of their penetration into buildings are described. By measuring the flux density of radon from the surface of a brick without covering and with covering, it is shown that the use of protective coverings makes it possible to reduce the flux density of radon from the surface of building structures. Protective materials for protection against radon (with a low radon penetration) must have a high density and a low specific efficient activity of natural radionuclides. Formulations for the production of gypsum boards for the protection of premises against penetration of radon have been developed. It is revealed that the grade of flux density of radon when finishing the concrete and brick with a radon protection gypsum slab is reduced by 2.3–3 times depending on the quan- tity of an added chemically modified carbon additive.
