RADON MEASUREMENT

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive noble gas and is mainly caused by the radioactive decay of uranium, which occurs in different concentrations throughout the rock and in the soil. There it can escape as gas through cavities such as cracks and mix with the ambient air.

Radon is converted into other radioactive substances by further radioactive decay. However, these products derived from radon are no longer gases, but solids that accumulate on dust particles in the air (so-called aerosols).

What effects does Radon have on your health?

Radon and its derived products enter the body via respiration. Most of the radon gas inhaled through the air is exhaled quickly and therefore has no effect whatsoever. Radon is unlikely to degrade in the airways. However, this process is of little importance to health.

The biggest health risk is therefore not from the radon itself, but from its short-lived derived products from:

  • Depending on the size of the aerosols containing these derived products, they can reach the upper respiratory tract, the bronchi, or even the alveoli, where they can adhere.
  • There radon-derived products release their radioactive decay over a long period of radiation. They can damage the immediate surrounding lung tissue and thus contributes to the development of lung cancer.

Why is Radon dangerous indoors?

Outdoors, the radon escaping from the ground can mix with the air very quickly and therefore occurs in such low concentrations that it is not relevant to health in nature.

However, indoors, higher concentrations may occur if:

  • the building stands on soil with elevated uranium content
  • the air permeability of the soil is high
  • there is no adequate seal between the floor and the house
  • the ventilation rate is too low

Especially in the heating season, the indoor radon concentration may increase significantly due to the so-called chimney effect. The warm, rising room air creates a suction effect in the lowest rooms of the building, whereby radon-containing air can be sucked off the ground.

A radon measurement in your home is therefore highly recommended – in schools and office buildings soon duty.
