Abstract
This study focuses on the indoor radon gas monitoring in 30 residences in Campania to evaluate seasonal variability. Approximately 570 CR-39 solid-state detectors were employed. Measurements were taken monthly, quarterly, semiannually, and annually, starting in October 2022 and ending in September 2023. The seasonal variability was assessed using the Gini coefficient, with quarterly and semiannual values being comparable at 6% and 7%, respectively, while the monthly measurements exhibited a higher Gini coefficient, 13%. The measurements were conducted in accordance with the UNI ISO 11665-4:2021 standard. This preliminary study investigates the seasonal variability of radon concentration in Campania. The results obtained may support future research on a larger scale.
期刊介绍：
The quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health.
Indoor Air provides a location for reporting original research results in the broad area defined by the indoor environment of non-industrial buildings. An international journal with multidisciplinary content, Indoor Air publishes papers reflecting the broad categories of interest in this field: health effects; thermal comfort; monitoring and modelling; source characterization; ventilation and other environmental control techniques.
The research results present the basic information to allow designers, building owners, and operators to provide a healthy and comfortable environment for building occupants, as well as giving medical practitioners information on how to deal with illnesses related to the indoor environment.
