Quantify Factors Influencing Radon Flux in Dwellings

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is a leading cause of lung cancer and has the potential to increase significantly due to current renovation strategies. Understanding the factors influencing radon infiltration into buildings is vital. Radon flux into buildings is a highly dynamic process influenced by various factors. The current study analyses a historical time-series dataset to determine radon entry rates into buildings and identify statistical factors driving the radon flux based on meteorological, environmental, and building characteristics. Through this research and analysis, this project seeks to enhance our understanding of radon factors in dwellings and improve the predictive ability regarding radon within dwellings.
