PHE- Radon in workplace basements

Part of: Radiation: PHE-CRCE report series

"Radon is a recognised lung carcinogen. Regulations exist in the UK that limit the exposure to radon at work and require employers to take action if levels exceed certain thresholds. As radon levels in individual buildings cannot be predicted, PHE offers a routine measurement service, which has been in operation for around 30 years.

This report uses the pre-mitigation radon results in basements of around 3500 workplaces that have been measured with passive monitors as part of the PHE routine measurement service."
