Abstract

Abstract: Influence of living habits and meteorological parameters on indoor radon concentration in a new energy efficiency multi-storey flat building typical for Russian cities was studied using radon time series analysis. Continuous indoor radon measurements were conducted in four flats of the same multi-storey residential building in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Factors influencing indoor radon in surveyed building (by rank) are as follows: ventilation regime> indoor/outdoor temperature difference > wind direction. Intentional ventilation frequency, temperature difference and wind direction explain together up to 46% of indoor radon variability in a flat of multi-storey building.
