Abstract

Abstract Indoor radon concentrations show a strong dependence on precipitation, geological unit, home construction, and soil radioactivity. Intervals of greater precipitation tend to have higher indoor radon. In a geologically complex terrain where geological units are numerous and genetically different, some units can be associated with significantly higher indoor radon. Homes with concrete block basement walls and electrical heating systems tend to have higher indoor radon. Soils with greater aeroradioactivity tend to have homes with higher indoor radon. With some care, prediction of indoor radon appears possible if the more important parameters are carefully measured.
