Radon is a gas of natural origin that is odourless, colourless and tasteless, and therefore cannot be perceived by our senses. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), prolonged exposure to this gas can cause serious health damage, increasing the risk of developing lung cancer.
The European Union has urged Italy to prepare a plan ‘against Radon gas’ applicable by 2031, which envisages the measurement of concentration levels in the territory of the gas and the subsequent evaluation of measures to intervene. Since the early 1990s, Daliform Group Srl has been developing and patenting its products based on the regulations of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, precisely to counteract the rise of Radon gas in new and renovated residential buildings.
Building an aerated under-floor cavity with the Iglù® disposable formwork is an effective solution to counteract the rise of Radon. Indeed, the system, exploits the principle of natural ventilation to allow air to circulate: by connecting the under-floor cavity to the outside using special pipes, a flow of air is created which facilitates the dispersion of Radon and humidity from the cavity below the ground floor.
These are the main advantages of choosing an air cavity made with Iglù®:
Effectiveness
It significantly reduces the concentration of Radon in rooms.
Health
It improves indoor air quality and eliminates excess humidity, preventing mould and condensation.
Durability
Durable and long-lasting system.
Sustainability
Made of recycled plastic, it contributes to environmental protection.
