Results of novel theoretical approaches show a possible underestimation of building materials contribution to indoor radon levels by Maiorana Andrea, Di Carlo Christian, Ampollini Marco, Antignani Sara, Caprio Mario, Carpentieri Carmela, Bochicchio Francesco

“…This work quantified the differences resulting from the application of the simplified formulation instead of the exact ones to assess the radon exhalation rate and the corresponding radon activity concentration established indoors, relative to a reference room. The numerical impact of the simplified approach has been analysed by varying the main building structure parameters. …”
