Objectif
In discussing radon remedial methods, it is often claimed that simple ventilation, or just opening the windows, is superior to all other methods because of its effect on the relatively long lived radon gas. The experience of this investigation, however, indicates that it is technically not only possible but rather simple to construct an efficient radon daughter removing ionizing unit.
Even where an effective barrier technique is properly installed the settling of a house over a period of a few years may cause new entry points for radon to be formed. It is important to appreciate that where conditions are favourable for radon entry (ie high soil permeability, an underpressure across the house foundation slab, etc) even a small entry point being available will allow significant radon flux into a house.
