The development of radon remedial measures in U.K. buildings

  • 1. Building Research Establishment, Watford (United Kingdom)

Description

The Building Research Establishment has been carrying out work on radon for the UK's Department of the Environment since the early 1980's. A comprehensive programme of research has been carried out by BRE with the aim of developing practical, cost effective and appropriate reduction methods for use in existing UK buildings. It is considered particularly important to ensure that measures recommended not only reduce radon levels, but that they do not cause adverse effects to the structure or indoor environment, whilst also being cost effective. A comprehensive series of field trials has been undertaken to test a variety of different solutions. (author). 20 refs
