Abstract
This study focuses on the indoor radon gas monitoring in 30 residences in Campania to evaluate seasonal variability. Approximately 570 CR-39 solid-state detectors were employed. Measurements were taken monthly, quarterly, semiannually, and annually, starting in October 2022 and ending in September 2023. The seasonal variability was assessed using the Gini coefficient, with quarterly and semiannual values being comparable at 6% and 7%, respectively, while the monthly measurements exhibited a higher Gini coefficient, 13%. The measurements were conducted in accordance with the UNI ISO 11665-4:2021 standard. This preliminary study investigates the seasonal variability of radon concentration in Campania. The results obtained may support future research on a larger scale.
本研究对坎帕尼亚30户居民的室内氡气进行监测，以评估其季节性变化。大约使用了570个CR-39固态探测器。从2022年10月开始，到2023年9月结束，每月、每季度、每半年和每年进行一次测量。使用基尼系数评估季节变异性，季度和半年的值分别为6%和7%，而月度测量显示出更高的基尼系数，为13%。测量是按照UNI ISO 11665- 4:21 21标准进行的。本文初步探讨了坎帕尼亚地区氡浓度的季节变化。获得的结果可能支持未来更大规模的研究。
期刊介绍：
The quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health.
Indoor Air provides a location for reporting original research results in the broad area defined by the indoor environment of non-industrial buildings. An international journal with multidisciplinary content, Indoor Air publishes papers reflecting the broad categories of interest in this field: health effects; thermal comfort; monitoring and modelling; source characterization; ventilation and other environmental control techniques.
The research results present the basic information to allow designers, building owners, and operators to provide a healthy and comfortable environment for building occupants, as well as giving medical practitioners information on how to deal with illnesses related to the indoor environment.
