Abstract
Provides guidance on protective measures in new dwellings and extensions to existing buildings against Radon infiltration. Practical measures are outlined which, when applied to new dwellings, will significantly reduce the ingress of radon. Guidance is provided for both solid and suspended floors. The gas must be. dealt with before it becomes a risk to health, so the measures are generally applied at or below the lowest floor level.
