I looked at a house where they recently conducted a 10-day quick measurement of radon levels with surprisingly low values. The house is built with a frame and flooring in blåbetong with a brick facade.

During the measurement, the house was unfurnished and uninhabited, with only natural ventilation. How reliable do you think this measurement is? The reason real measurements are done in the winter is because there's less airing out then, but as long as they haven't left any windows open during the period, this summer measurement should be relatively reliable, right?

What do you think?
 
No, it's not just the ventilation that affects the result in the measurement.

It's about the fact that during the normal measurement period, it's warmer inside than outside, which creates a pressure difference that draws the radon gas into the house. This applies to ground radon!

At least 2 months of measurement during the period Oct-Mar is required for it to be legally binding, i.e. for you to be able to apply for a grant from the county administrative board for remediation.
 
Damn, I wrote with line breaks and paragraphs! And yet it looks like one long sentence....
