THE IMPACT OF VENTILATION RATE ON RADON CONCENTRATION INSIDE HIGH-RISE APARTMENT BUILDINGS.

Radon is the main pollutant of indoor air, being considered a primary cause of lung cancer, especially in non-smokers.

The directive establishes basic safety rules for protection against the dangers represented by the exposure to ionizing radiation.
