The influence of geology on elevated radon concentrations in Slovenian schools and kindergartens
Abstract
76 instantaneous indoor radon concentrations above the Slovenian action level of 400 Bqm-3 were selected from the database of 1600 radon concentrations in kindergartens and schools, assembled during the Slovenian National Radon Programme. A relationship wasfound between indoor radon concentrations, and geology of rocks under the foundations (uranium content, permeability, porosity, tectonic fractures) and the quality of building construction.
