Temporal Patterns of Radon Exposure and Ventilation Indicators in Elementary School Classrooms

Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center 

Radon exposure in schools is typically assessed using short-term testing, which may overlook how concentrations change throughout the school day. Using continuous radon and CO₂ monitoring in Salt Lake City elementary schools, this project explores how ventilation patterns influence classroom radon concentrations during occupied hours. The results demonstrate how continuous monitoring can improve exposure assessment and support practical ventilation strategies to reduce potential radon exposure in school environments.
