Relationship between radon and oxygen diffusion coefficients in OPC concretes by P. Linares-Alemparte, M. Souto-Allaoui, C. Andrade-Perdrix

“… One of the solutions used to limit radon in buildings is to install membrane-type barriers, a costly solution for large surfaces. As concrete often forms the building envelope with the ground, it is interesting to investigate its performance as a barrier, i.e. its radon exhalation, which depends on the radon diffusion coefficient and thickness. …”
