Description
Summary:With the improvement of people's requirements for living environment, the effect of indoor radon radioactivity on health has been widely concerned. In this paper, taking a university in Shanghai as an example, indoor radon concentration and its related environmental parameters were measured in some of its rooms to understand the level of indoor radon concentration on its campus. The results showed that the average concentrations of student dormitory, office buildings, and academic buildings were 14.79±9.15 Bq/m 3 ,22.67±5.72 Bq/m 3 , and 12.55±6.71 Bq/m 3 respectively. Indoor radon was positively correlated with indoor temperature and humidity, and ventilation was also an effective method to reduce indoor radon.
