abstract = "The connection between environmental factors and indoor radon concentration were explored. The results show that, in the foundation, radon levels decrease as outdoor temperatures drop, counter to the common assumption that stack effect is a primary driver of radon entry. Analysis suggests that time-varying soil characteristics are more important for driving radon concentrations than outdoor air characteristics. The data also suggest that increased use of forced-air space conditioning systems may bring foundation-space radon to the first floor.",
