Multiyear indoor radon variability in a family house - a case study in serbia
The indoor radon behavior has complex dynamics due to the influence of the large number of different parameters: the state of indoor atmosphere (temperature, pressure, and relative humidity), aerosol concentration, the exchange rate between indoor and outdoor air, construction materials, an...

| description | The indoor radon behavior has complex dynamics due to the influence of the
large number of different parameters: the state of indoor atmosphere
(temperature, pressure, and relative humidity), aerosol concentration, the
exchange rate between indoor and outdoor air, construction materials, and
living habits. As a result, indoor radon concentration shows variation, with
the usual periodicity of one day and one year. It is well-known that
seasonal variation of the radon concentration exists. It is particularly
interesting to investigate indoor radon variation at the same measuring
location and time period, each year, due to estimation of individual annual
dose from radon exposure. The long-term indoor radon measurements, in a
typical family house in Serbia, were performed. Measurements were taken
during 2014, 2015, and 2016, in February and July, each year. The following
measuring techniques were used: active and charcoal canisters methods.
Analysis of the obtained results, using multivariate analysis methods, is
presented. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, Grant no. 171002: Nuclear Methods Investigations of Rare Processes and Cosmic Rays and Grant no. 43002: Biosensing Technologies and Global
