Radon, classified by the WHO and IARC as a Group 1 human carcinogen, is the second leading cause of lung cancer death after smoking. Under specific conditions, it tends to accumulate in indoor living environments, posing a significant health risk. Occupancy in inadequately designed and constructed buildings with unsuitable materials, and cases where management and maintenance are not performed correctly and consistently, can lead to adverse health effects not only for radon risk but also for elevated levels of chemical and microbiological agents
This Booklet presents a survey of the main initiatives and best practices concerning the promotion of indoor air quality in public and private buildings, with special attention on school buildings. These initiatives include research projects, awareness actions and best practices aimed at improving indoor air quality in buildings, with a focus on initiatives related to indoor radon and interventions to reduce the associated risk.
This Booklet offers an overview of the actions proposed by the Italian municipalities participating in the experimental program of interventions for adaptation to climate change in urban areas, launched in 2021 by the Ministry of Ecological Transition (now the Ministry for the Environment and Energy Security), in collaboration with ISPRA and ANCI.
