Indoor radon concentrations are subject to seasonal variation with a maximum in winter and a minimum in summer. Procedures to correct for seasonal variation are necessary in order to get an unbiased estimate of the annual average radon concentration from data based on short-period radon measurements. To obtain correction factors, we apply the model developed by Pinel et al to the French database of indoor radon measurements (measurements performed as part of the indoor radon case-control study and of the national radon measurement campaign). For 6-month measurements, the correction factors vary from 0.87 to 1.17 and agree with those previously published. These results might be applicable when assessing indoor radon concentrations with regard to recommended action levels.
室内氡浓度存在季节性变化，冬季最高，夏季最低。为了根据短期氡测量数据对年平均氡浓度进行无偏估计，需要采用校正季节性变化的程序。为了获得校正因子，我们将皮内尔等人开发的模型应用于法国室内氡测量数据库（作为室内氡病例对照研究和全国氡测量活动的一部分进行的测量）。对于6个月的测量，校正因子在0.87至1.17之间变化，与先前发表的结果一致。在根据推荐的行动水平评估室内氡浓度时，这些结果可能适用。
