Radon gas barrier: Prevent it with Propam® Stop Radon Concrete system

Radon gas is a growing concern in building construction. In this article, we will explore what radon gas is, why it is a problem and how you can avoid it by using a suitable radon barrier that complies with the Technical Building Code (CTE). In addition, we will learn about the Propam® Stop Radon Concrete system, an effective solution for your project.

What is radon gas and why is it a problem?

Radon gas is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas that forms naturally from the decay of uranium in soil and rocks. Its danger is that when it accumulates in enclosed spaces such as homes and buildings, it can increase the risk of lung cancer. In fact, it is considered the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco, which is why the “National Plan against Radon” promoted by the Ministry of Health has recently been approved.
