8a.2 Monitoring of Radon Concentration
8a.2.1.1 As recommended in the EIA Report, the radon concentration shall be measured prior to the occupation of the IWMF buildings by professional persons in accordance with EPD ProPECC Note PN 1/99 “Control of Radon Concentration in New Buildings” to ensure that the radon concentration complies with the guideline value in EPD ProPECC Note PN 1/99.
8a.2.2
Monitoring during Operation
Phase
8a.2.2.1 In the first year of operation of the IWMF, the radon concentration shall be measured quarterly by professional persons to confirm that the radon level complies with the guideline value stipulated in EPD ProPECC Note PN 1/99.
8a.2.3
Measurement of
Radon Concentration
8a.2.3.1 The measurement locations, measurement protocol, measurement criteria, report and documentation should follow those stipulated in Appendix 2 of “Protocol of Radon Measurement for Non-residential Building” of EPD ProPECC Note PN 1/99 “Control of Radon Concentration in New Buildings”. The protocol is enclosed in Appendix 8a.1 of this EM&A Manual for information.
