Radon in the environment and the dwellings - a review of measurements carried out in France by IPSN; Le radon dans l`environnement de l`homme - une revue des mesures effectuees en France par l`IPSN

Abstract

Over the last decade, the monitoring of radon gas in various natural environments and regions of France has allowed the IPSN to construct a radon data base. In holes drilled in soils and in underground cavities, radon concentrations between a few hundred Bq.m{sup -3} and many thousands Bq.m{sup -3} were measured. Exhalation rates between 10{sup -3} and 50 mBq.m{sup -2}.s{sup -1} were measured in different regions and for different types of soil. In the open air, mean levels were observed in the range of a few Bq.m{sup -3} to several hundred Bq.m{sup -3} and concentrations as high as one thousand Bq.m{sup -3} were measured over short periods.
