The experimental and tabulated values of KV(t) and also the values of the coefficient of temporal EEC variation depending on the mode and duration of the measurements were obtained. [...] Dependence of the coefficients of temporal variations of radon (a) and EEC (b) on the minimum duration of one of 2 (top) and 4 (bottom) measurements with an interval of 6 or 3 months, respectively, by the results of annual monitoring in the experimental rooms 20 Coefficient of temporal EEC variation Coefficient of temporal radon variation Coefficient of temporal EEC variation Coefficient of tempor. [...] A comparison of the values of the coefficients of temporal variation of radon and EEC de- pending on the duration of continuous measurements and the temperature effect; the data for Russia are taken from (MG 2.6.1.037, 2015) 22 Probably, the tabulated values of the coefficient of temporal radon variation for the continuous measurements in the period from 1 to 8 months are overestimated (Figure 4(a. [...] In order to verify and clarify the data reported in Table 2, we would like to encourage the col- leagues who conduct radon surveys in different countries of the world to send the results of annual monitoring of indoor radon (with a registration period of 1 to 6 hours) to the authors in the form of electronic tables, taking into account the requirements for the selection of experimental rooms, ac-. [...] However, in some cases the re- liability of the result of the indoor radon evaluation can be reduced by the influence of hidden geo- logical processes and degradation of the insulation of the building foundation.
