Abstract

The aim of the Austrian Radon Project (ARP) is to investigate the 222Rn concentration in 0.3-0.5% of all Austrian dwellings to identify areas with elevated radon exposure. The survey is carried out using short-term and long-term integrating radon detectors covering a population of 2 800 000 persons so far. The homes were randomly selected from the telephone directory. The radon concentration distribution showed a log-normal shape. County-means between 60 and 330 Bq/m-3 were found. A radon potential was introduced to deduce a geological risk from the data taken under different circumstances in different types of houses. This radon potential was defined as the annual mean radon concentration in a standard dwelling and is computed by normalizing the measured radon data to this standard dwelling.
