Abstract

Measuring indoor radon concentrations is essential for ensuring good air quality in buildings and protecting public health, but significant regulatory and methodological fragmentation still exists at the international level. This study analysed scientific articles published in the last five years, aiming to critically map the technical choices adopted in measuring radon in different indoor environments. The results show that regulatory fragmentation continues to generate inconsistent practices with regard to measurement protocols, sampling durations, devices used, and normative references used to interpret the results. In many cases, the protocols cannot be readily classified according to major technical standards as specific interpretation criteria are required, such as the sampling frequency and the overall duration of the strategy. These results highlight the importance of standardising measurement methods in order to improve the accuracy of exposure assessments and enable comparisons between studies.
