Abstract
The present author has kept observation for concentrations of atmospheric radon, radon progeny and thoron progeny for several years at the campus of Fukushima Medical University. Accidentally, in the midst of an observation term, i.e., February 2005, the faci lity management group of the university changed a strategy for the manner of ventilation, probably because of a recession : (I) tidy everyday ventilation of 7 : 30-24 : 00 into (II) shortened weekday ventilation of 8 : 00-21 : 00 with weekend halts. This change of ventilation manner brought a clear alteration for the concentrations of radon-related natural radioactivity in indoor air. The present paper concerns an investigation of the effect of the ventilation strategy on the indoor-atmospheric radon-related radioactivity.
