2 Radon Inert Gas Radioactive Gas Odorless Tasteless Colorless
1. Introduction Radon Inert Gas Colorless Tasteless Odorless Radioactive Gas 라돈은 주기율표 18족에 속하는 비활성기체로 무색 무미 무취의 방사능 물질입니다. The 2017 International Radon Symposium™

3 * The origins of radon on earth
1. Introduction * The origins of radon on earth 우라늄 238의 방사능붕괴로 생성되는 천연방사능 물질입니다. 라돈 방사능 붕괴를 통해 폴로늄 납 비스무스 붕괴합니다. The 2017 International Radon Symposium™

4 1. Introduction The 2017 International Radon Symposium™
* Human Health Risk ① 실내 공기오염물질 중 하나인 라돈은 주기율표 18족에 속하며 원자번호 86의 무색 무미 무취의 비활성 기체입니다. 공기보다 약 8배 무거우며 물에 상대적으로 잘 녹는 특성을 가지고 있습니다. 라돈이 비활성기체임에도 불구하고 실내공기오염물질인 이유는 바로 방사선은 방출 할수 있는 방사능을 가진 방사성물질이기 때문입니다. The 2017 International Radon Symposium™

5 1. Introduction The 2017 International Radon Symposium™
* Source of Radon 다음 그림은 이러한 실내 라돈의 원인을 나타낸 그래프 로서 토양 우물 외기 건축자재 등이 있고 그 중 토양 라돈이 가장 많은 비를 차지하고 있습니다. 라돈의 실내 유입경로로는 그림에서도 알수 있듯이 주로 집에 갈라진 틈으로 유입이 됩니다. 지금 이 슬라이드에 자료는 보통 3층 이하 저층집에서의 실내라돈을 나타낸 것이며 고층의 경우에는 공기보다 무거운 라돈의 특성 때문에 토양 라돈의 영향을 거의 없다고 볼수 있습니다. The 2017 International Radon Symposium™
