Radon Removal Using A Venturi Injector-Based Household Aeration System, Jordan Meaney
Radon Removal Using A Venturi Injector-Based Household Aeration System, Jordan Meaney
Master's Theses and Capstones
Radon-222 is a naturally occurring radioactive noble gas that is colorless, tasteless, and odorless and has been a known carcinogenic since the early 1920’s. Radon in groundwater can lead to inhalation of radon through off gassing caused by water-use processes such as showering, flushing toilets, and washing machines. The objective of this study is to develop a simple ground water aeration system to remove radon at the individual household level. The aeration system studied in this research utilized a venturi injector, which is considered a passive method of aeration unlike the aeration systems currently available in the market. With enough …
