abstract = {The objective of this pilot study was to gather and analyze data on radon concentrations
in workplaces in three buildings of Granada University (Southern Spain) constructed in different
centuries. All measurements were made at basement or ground floor level under normal use
conditions except for one space (mineral store), in which measurements were compared between
the door closed and open. Measurements were conducted during different time periods between
October 2013 and March 2019 with a Radon-Scout PLUS portable Radonmonitor. The duration of
continuous recordings at different sites ranged between 42 and 1104 h. Mean accumulated radon
concentrations ranged between 12 and 95 Bq/m3
, below the maximal level of 300 Bq/m3
set by the
World Health Organization (WHO). Relatively high values were recorded in the oldest building
(15th century), which was also poorly ventilated. Ventilation appeared to be an important factor in
reducing radon levels, especially in areas less exposed to radon, such as Southern Spain.},
