“…This can be achieved by using natural or mechanical ventilation, sealing every possible crack, crawl space or drainage space and modifying gradient between indoor and outdoor pressure. Effectiveness of each of these procedures depends on the structural features of the building, entry pathways, radon concentrations and by the technological means employed (Ratti et al, 1998;Torri et al, 1998;Maringer et al, 2001). Remedial and mitigation measures can be (Henschel, 1994) classified into the following categories: -techniques to avoid radon entry in indoor spaces; -techniques to remove radon after its entry in indoor spaces.…”

“…Whereas in the USA (Boardman and Glass, 2015) the highest record was 96.5%. In Austria, radon mitigation using the same methods with active and passive ventilation system shown 90% and 50% effect respectively (Maringer et al., 2001)b) Sump depressurizationA form of SSDS, where the sump pump used to drain water is capped and made to serve as a passage to move out radon containing air.Effectiveness recorded in both Spain (Vázquez et al., 2011) and in the UK was almost perfect (99 to nearly 100%) with active ventilation (Groves-Kirkby et al., 2006). c) Sub-membrane depressurizationA polyethylene barrier membrane used to cover the dirt floor at crawl space; thus, the sealed foundation prevents radon entry.…”

“…House 4: A basement sealing. House 5: A waterproof basement.25,0001,20050–95%Experimental study by Maringer et al. (2001) in the federal state of Upper Austria.Studied 5 houses in high radon; for the first time used an extended Blower Door method to determine building tightness and radon levels.Two farm houses mitigated with active SSDS and a single-family house mitigated with passive SSDSRadon level varied from 150 to 900 (Avg.…”
