Development of a practical testing procedure for the determination of radon exhalation from construction products

The research project has confirmed that the measurement of radon exhalation from building products is possible and practicable using emission measuring chambers. Compared to conventional methodologies the measuring is closer to reality since indoor climate conditions as temperature, relative humidity and to some extent air exchange can be considered. The following topics are covered: requirements for a standardized methodology for the determination of radon exhalation from construction products, description of the methodology, description and discussion of exhalation measuring results.
