RadoNorm has released its latest research findings and practical guidelines on radon and NORM-related topics, including radon measurement, mitigation, dosimetric effects, and environmental impact. These reports provide essential insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals. Visit the RadoNorm website to download them.

  • Radon exposure and measurement

D2.3 – Report and comprehensive database containing information related to radon-progeny activity concentration and aerosol characteristics at selected workplaces

D2.4 – Report on proficiency test of active instrumentation, including a practical guideline that will introduce into essential measures of quality control, reflecting requirements from normative documents

D2.6 – Methodology for the assessment of radon exhalation and gamma irradiation from building materials containing NORM and contribution of such materials to the indoor radon concentration

D2.5 – Report on outdoor radon, thoron and their decay products: exhalation, atmospheric transport and deposition

D5.9 – Measurement protocol of radon progeny attached and unattached fraction

  • Environmental & Health Impact

D2.14 – Recommendations for transfer parameters to plant

D2.15 – Report on the influence of microorganisms on the transport behaviour of uranium in mine waters

D2.16 – Report on the main conclusions from the laboratory sorption-desorption experiments and inclusion of respective information into an updated database on soil sorption and desorption parameters for NOR

D3.1 – Report on the effects of smoking on absorbed doses from radon exposure

D3.4 – Report on the uncertainties affecting dosimetric calculations

  • Technology & Mitigation Strategies

D5.4 – Report on radon control technologies used in buildings built from building materials emitting high levels of radon

D5.8 – Report on variability and sustainability of radon prevention and mitigation in homes and in large buildings

D5.10 – Report on In-situ Intercomparison measurement campaign

D5.11 – Report on available solutions and technologies applicable for legacy site remediation, NORM involving industries and treatment of radioactivity in water
