  • Abstract:
    Radon levels within a dwelling of traditional construction located in South Devon have been monitored intermittently over a period of several years. This paper discusses the characteristics of radon gas, presents the results of a series of monitoring tests and demonstrates a broad relationship between radon concentration and the amount of naturally induced ventilation within the test house. A solution more appropriate to higher radon levels is costed, the variation in typical radon levels encountered in different rooms and the financial viability of natural ventilation systems when compared with the costed and other possible solutions, is examined.
