Question
Chapter 21.8, Problem 21.8.1SR
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The risk posed by the radon gas in homes should be determined from the given options.
Concept introduction:
- Pollutants: The substance present in the environment in harmful concentration and cause pollution, and it will damaging the growth rate of species by interfering with the food chains, affect the health, comfort and property.
- Indoor pollutants: The substance which present with in home and industries and cause pollution.
- Radon is a major indoor pollutant and it is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that enters a building through tiny cracks in the basement floor.
To find: the risk posed by the radon gas in homes.
