Description
Techniques and procedures are known that can significantly reduce radon levels in houses, both preventive and remedial. One issue remains unclear, namely the durability of these measures. The long-term effectiveness of remedial measures should be considered when assessing actual risk reduction, for optimisation efforts and cost-effectiveness studies. They could be important also for the willingness of homeowners to initiate radon mitigation. This issue has been addressed in the RadoNORM project using datasets from Norway, Finland, Austria and France.
Data from the Czech Republic will be presented showing the sustainability of preventive and remedial measures after 30 years.
