Reports first report from committee, "Preliminary proposals for measures against radiation risks in dwellings". Notes that prime source of radiation, alum-based lightweight concrete, has been banned in new buildings in Sweden, but is still present in 10%of pre-1975 houses. Provisional limits for gamma radiation for undeveloped sites: 30-100 micro.r/h (site should only be built on subject to other conditions), more than 100 micro.r/h (building inadvisable). suggests that geological radiation maps be charted. Notes reduction in radon content through house ventilation. Suggests areas for further research.
Radon committee proposes provisional limit values and better ventilation. Provisoriska gransvarden och battre ventilation foreslar radonutredning.
