Description
Summary:With the improvement of people's requirements for living environment, the effect of indoor radon radioactivity on health has been widely concerned. In this paper, taking a university in Shanghai as an example, indoor radon concentration and its related environmental parameters were measured in some of its houses to understand the level of indoor radon concentration in its campus. The results show that the average concentrations of student dormitory, office building, and academic building are 14.79±9.15 Bq/m3,22.67±5.72 Bq/m3, and 12.55±6.71 Bq/m3 respectively. indoor radon is positively correlated with indoor temperature and humidity, and ventilation is also an effective method to reduce indoor radon.
