Abstract
Measurements of radon concentration in air and of the radon exhalation rate were made in an underground storage cavern for natural gas. Relatively good agreement was observed between the average radon concentration calculated from the radon exhalation rate data (5 kBq m −3) and the average radon concentration measured using two different techniques (electret dosemeters: 7.2 kBq m −3; Lucas cells: from 4.9 to 5.6 kBq m −3). The expected increase of indoor radon concentration due to the combustion of natural gas is low. A conservative estimate gives 0.5 Bq m −3 of equivalent equilibrium radon concentration.
