What Radon is?

The radon (222Rn) is radioactive gas without smell and odour, which rises up from geological basement to the surface and then by various ways to the dwellings. It is proved that – under certain circumstances – it supports the rise of lung cancer!

Influences, conditioned penetrating (222Rn) to the dwellings:
     
  • permeability of the geological medium below object (permeable rocks, gravels, gravely-sands, geological faults, etc.
  • fissures and openings in concrete floors, which are in direct contacts with soil
  • cracks in mortar, connecting adobes in wall of basement
  • cavities in hole mortars of basement walls
  • installation pervades in basement
  • fumigate channels
  • contact of basement and wall constructions
