National Radon Survey in Austria. Annex III
Creators
Description
A national radon survey was conducted in Austria from 1992 to 2001 with the aim of identifying high radon areas for targeted actions to reduce radon exposure in these areas. Previous geological investigations had not accurately estimated radon exposure in Austria, so it was decided to perform systematic measurements of radon indoors. In 1992 the Austrian Radon Protection Commission recommended that the annual mean radon concentration in existing buildings should be no more than 400 Bq/m3, and that it should be no more than 200 Bq/m3 in new buildings.
