Abstract
The aim of the study is to evaluate radon emanation levels in South African communities and to implement possible strategies to reduce radon levels in order to minimize potential health hazards. The major contributing factor to high levels of radon is the history of mining. To precisely measure emanation levels of radon indoors and outdoors, calibrated radon detectors are necessary. In this study, areas of high radon emanation levels are spotted, and based on the radon emission point or entry points in buildings, applicable and possible mitigation strategies are discussed for implementation.
