“…Radonreduced air by the RRS is piped to the AMoRE-II detector room and measured by the radon detector. Ambient air, before RRS, is measured by the RS9A, which is a compact pulsed-ionization type radon detector developed by RadonFTLab in South Korea [35,36], and can measure the radon concentration below 3.7 kBq/m 3 with an accuracy of less than 15%. Figure 12 compares radon concentrations between the AMoRE experimental hall and the radon-reduced air from the RRS.…”

The radiation emitted from radon is a critical background in rare event search experiments conducted at the Yemi Underground Laboratory (Yemilab) in Jeongseon, Korea. A Radon Reduction System (RRS) has been developed and installed in Yemilab to reduce radon concentration in the air. The RRS primarily provides a purified air of 50 m3/h to the cleanroom used to assemble crystal detectors in the AMoRE, a neutrinoless double beta decay search experiment. RRS can reduce the radon level by a factor of 300, so a high-sensitivity radon detector was required. A highly sensitive radon detector was constructed using a 70 L chamber with a large PIN photodiode to measure radon concentration in the purified air. The radon detector shows an excellent resolution of 72 keV (FWHM) for 6.003 MeV alphas from 218Po decay and a sensitivity down to 23.8 ± 2.1 mBq/m3 with a boil-off N2 gas sample. The radon concentration level from the RRS measured by the radon detector was below 0.29 Bq/m3 with a reduction factor of about 300.

“…IoT systems provide a convenient and efficient way to monitor radon levels in buildings, enabling users to take proactive measures to reduce radon exposure and ensure healthy indoor air quality, and present several advantages for radon monitoring compared to traditional methods: 33,45,50,51 • Real-time monitoring: IoT systems can provide continuous, real-time monitoring of radon levels, whereas traditional methods typically involve intermittent measurements over a longer period.• Remote access: IoT systems allow for remote access to radon data, which can be accessed and analyzed from anywhere with an internet connection. Traditional methods often require physical collection and analysis of radon samples.• Alerting capabilities: IoT systems can be programmed to send alerts if radon levels exceed a certain threshold, allowing for quick response to potentially dangerous levels.…”

The article explores techniques for mitigating indoor radon in buildings, including soil depressurization, anti-radon coatings and membranes, interior mechanical building pressurization, and natural and forced ventilation procedures. The effectiveness of each technique depends on various factors, such as indoor radon level or building construction type. The region of Alto Minho, Northern Portugal, mostly comprises single-family housing with different structures and materials, and performing an assessment stage is crucial for selecting the appropriate mitigation method. The ageing and declining population in the region suggests that the rehabilitation of existing buildings is more likely than the implementation of new construction. The article also emphasizes the potential impacts of soil depressurization and pressurization on soil geotechnical properties. Anti-radon barriers and mortars have been effectively used in high indoor radon concentration situations and can be combined with natural or forced ventilation procedures and real-time multi-parameter monitoring for improving indoor air quality and energy efficiency of buildings.
