Protection of buildings against radon

The only up-to-date book on our market, prepared by the co-authors of the radon measurement methodologies, clearly introduces the reader to the current approach to radon protection in buildings. The publication contains basic information on the exposure of the population to natural radiation and the Radon Programme of the Czech Republic, as well as legislative, standard and methodological background. The individual phases of the solution of radon protection of buildings (the scope of initial measurements and results of measurements, what must be considered and controlled in the phase of selection and design of measures, implementation, and control of the final state) are discussed in detail. The individual approach to solving the problem for specific objects is justified, including the importance and necessity of detailed measurements. The reasons for the failure to protect buildings against radon are shown with concrete examples. The book also deals with the psychosocial aspects of dealing with radon.
