Description
A review is given of measurement results concerning indoor radon in Estonia since 1989. The main objectives have been identification of high concentration areas and types of housing, and determination of major sources of indoor radon. Grab-sampling method with Lucas cells was used. The major source of indoor radon appears to be soil under buildings. According to investigations, radon exhalation rate from local building materials is not high. In places, ground water used in households affects the indoor radon level. High radon concentrations have mainly been detected in the ground floors of multistorey houses, in old tenement houses, and in single-family houses. (orig.). (5 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.)
