Best practices relating to radon prevention and reduction interventions in closed environments, compatible with energy efficiency interventions and in accordance with the National Radon Action Plan

It has been demonstrated by several scientific studies that energy efficiency interventions applied to buildings can worsen indoor air quality and produce an increase in the concentration of radon if carried out in the absence of interventions to prevent the accumulation of this gas . This can represent a significant problem for achieving reduction objectives exposure to radon and associated cases of lung cancer. The main difficulty in this topic is the multidisciplinarity: in fact, the areas of health, environment and energy saving are involved. The technical book aims to outline a clear framework for determining radon reduction solutions when acting on building to make them more efficient, guiding the reader in the main references which can be found in the attachments.
