“… 32 Living rooms, which are main living spaces, were reported to have higher indoor radon concentrations than bedrooms. 33 These effects were related to the presence of heating or ventilation, and whether or not windows were open; this implies that individual exposure concentrations can vary according to the time of day, at home. In the national radon survey, the concentration of indoor radon in multi-story buildings was measured only in the households located in the third floor or those below.…”

“…The stack effect draws radon into a residence when the house temperature rises and the outside temperature falls. The largest variables influencing radon levels to grow or decrease inside a residence are air pressure differentials (APD) and the stack effect (Papaefthvmiou et al, 2003;Kyusun et al, 2016;Yousef & Zimami, 2020). Because APDs and thstack effect are greater at night and lower during the day, indoor radon levels are higher at night and lower during the day, a phenomenon known as the diurnal APD/stack effect.The purpose of this study was to quantify radon toxicity in the Ayeduase community, which houses approximately half of the students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, and to determine the risk levels for individuals (categorized as infants, children, and adults) living in the community's various suburbs.…”
