The aim of this project was to develop reliable techniques and methodologies to enable SI traceable radon activity concentration measurements and calibrations at low radon concentrations. The results of the project have been targeted at the implementation of the European Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM (EU-BSS), one aim of which is to reduce the risk of lung cancer for European citizens due to high radon concentrations in indoor air. The calibration methods and measurement techniques developed in the project have started to assist EU member states in the establishment of their national radon action plan, which is required under the EU-BSS.
