Description

Historical structures can have complex construction characteristics since they have been rebuilt multiple times, typically without precise blueprints accessible. The primary instruments for identifying at least some of the radon pathways are a determination of the average air exchange rate, grab sampling from suspicious places, and simultaneous continuous monitoring of the radon activity concentration.
Two case studies providing preliminary results and lessons learned of radon diagnostics will be presented.
