ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for testing and remediating the effects of radon infiltration in buildings. The method of this invention places fiber glass materials over radon-emitting surfaces in order to entrap radon and radon progeny. The fiber glass materials can be formed into mats having a packed geometry. Each mat has fiber bundles having several thousand individual fibers. Each fiber has an approximate diameter size of about 50 microns. The glass fiber consists of a silicon oxide glass that may be doped, for example, with trivalent cerium ions. The mats can be of any geometrical configuration, such as rectangular.
