Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental quality inside the buildings we live and work in has become a priority, being directly responsible for public health. In terms of public awareness, The COVID-19 Crisis has brought the need for integrated and synergistic actions on public health, indoor air quality and green renovation policies.
Due to the pandemic, we spend more time indoors and people have become more interested in breathing quality air. Radon is the most important radioactive carcinogen, which can affect one of our most important organs, the lungs.
In recognition of this priority, the Special Issue of the open-access journal Atmosphere deals with the measurement and control of indoor radon in dwellings and workplaces.
The topic is really strategic bearing in mind the worldwide necessity of radon remedial actions based on reliable research-based experience. Moreover, the requirements of the latest EURATOM Directive 2013 introduce for all the European member states the necessity for efficient actions right now, by setting -up High health and environmental standards, ensuring high air quality through removal of and protection against radon.
Therefore, at this time Atmospheric Radon Measurements and Management inside the buildings is paramount, and this kind of journals provide useful tool and reference for radon management, communication of risk, public education and mitigation actions.
