In previous articles, we defined different building solutions to prevent radon gas from entering into new buildings. In the case of dealing with the problem of radon in already built constructions, there are two ways of fighting it: ventilation or insulation.

According to current regulations and building best practices, the construction of a new building must ensure that its occupants are not exposed to radon concentrations potentially posing a risk for their health.
