Abstract 한글 요약
Radon in buildings is the second most significant risk factor for lung cancer after smoking. Indoor radon concentrations are largely controlled by so-called geogenic radon, which forms in soils and rocks containing radium-226. Mapping the geogenic radon hazard is an urgent task that makes it possible to make managerial decisions in the field of radon standardization. In particular, mapping the geogenic radon hazard makes it possible to identify radon priority areas, which is a requirement of EURATOM BSS. There are different ways to mapping the geogenic radon hazard, and they all have their advantages and limitations. In this paper, a method for assessing and mapping Diffusion Radon Potential is proposed. This is a new approach to assessing and city-scale mapping geogenic radon hazard of the territories based on the analysis of data on radium concentration and radon diffusion length in shallow soils. An original method for estimating the diffusion coefficient is proposed. It has been shown that in many cases radon transport in soils can be described by a diffusion transport model with a diffusion length from 0.9 m in weakly permeable clays to 2.4 m in well-understood dry sediments. An example of mapping the diffusive radon potential is given using the example of Pyatigorsk and Moscow.
