Civil Engineering Consider two other houses with 200 [m?] of foundation area and 1000 [m'] volume. Calculate the steady-state concentration of Rn?72 activity in [Ci/m ] in these houses: a) A higher ventilation rate of 1 total air exchange per hour (ten times higher than class e.g.) b) No air exchange at all, so that the only exit pathway for Rn?2 is radioactive decay.

these houses:
a) A higher ventilation rate of 1 total air exchange per hour (ten times higher
than class e.g.)
b) No air exchange at all, so that the only exit pathway for Rn?2 is radioactive
decay.
