RADON PHENOMENON IN BUILDINGS

Abstract

In this study, Radon in buildings was examined. Radon which is contains %50 of radiation we are exposed in daily life and in the decay chain of Uranium available in rocks and soil, is a colorless, odorless and a radioactive gas that cannot be observed by human sense. The Radon gas produced by the decay of U238 in rocks diffuses into soil and then into atmosphere or environment. When accumulates in closed localities or in unventilated places Radon concentrations may reach to critical values. When Radon absorbed in high dose it can create a lot of ricks especially lung cancer risk.

YAPILARDA RADON FENOMENY

Öz

Bu çaly?mada, yapylarda Radon konusu irdelenmi?tir. Radon, günlük hayatta sürekli maruz kaldy?ymyz radyasyonun yakla?yk %50'sini olu?turan ve topraktaki Uranyum'un bozunma zincirinin bir halkasy olan renksiz, kokusuz ve duyu organlaryyla algylanamayan radyoaktif bir gazdyr. Kayaçlardaki Uranyumun bozunmasy sonucu ortaya çykan Radon gazy, difüzyon yoluyla topra?a, oradan da atmosfere veya ortama yayylmaktadyr. Gazyn birikmesiyle, Radon yo?unlu?u kapaly mekânlarda veya iyi havalandyrylmayan yerlerde kritik de?erlere ula?abilmektedir. Radon yüksek dozlarda maruz kalyndy?ynda özellikle akci?er kanseri ba?ta olmak üzere birçok tehlike yaratmaktadyr.
