In this paper the authors present a collection of radon emanation and exhalation rate data of about 2000 samples of building materials used in Europe. The data analysis highlighted some critical issues, such as the use of different units to express radon exhalation rate, the use of different measurement techniques and the general lack of information about density and thickness of samples. In many cases these differences of type and amount of information make difficult a reliable comparison of the obtained data. In the light of these considerations, the need arises to start, at both national and European level, a research activity aimed to develop a shared protocol for measuring the radon exhalation rate based on widely used and reliable measurement techniques. At European level, this protocol could support in forthcoming EU Member States national radon action plans, to take into account the contribution of building materials to the indoor radon concentrations.
本文作者呈现了约 2000 份欧洲建筑材料的氡散发和逸出率数据。数据分析突出了一些关键问题，例如使用不同的单位来表示氡逸出率、使用不同的测量技术以及普遍缺乏有关样本密度和厚度的信息。在许多情况下，这些类型和数量信息的差异使得难以对获得的数据进行可靠的比较。有鉴于此，有必要在国家和欧洲层面开展研究活动，旨在开发一种基于广泛使用和可靠测量技术的测量氡逸出率的共享协议。在欧洲层面，该协议可以为即将到来的欧盟成员国国家氡行动计划提供支持，以考虑建筑材料对室内氡浓度的贡献。
