It is an odourless, tasteless and colourless gas and it tends to accumulate indoors, particularly in areas where Uranium is present in high concentrations in rocks beneath closed spaces. There are various isotopes of radon and the most frequent and relevant from an epidemiological point of view is Radon-222. Its half-life is 3.8 days and therefore it is not risky by itself. The true risk is due to its short-life descendants Polonium-218 and Polonium-214. When they decay into other elements they release ionizing radiation in the form of alpha particles. Indoor radon exposure is the main source of ionizing radiation a human being will receive in lifetime.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 2005, a pooling study on residential radon and lung cancer including 21,000 participants from 13 case-control studies<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> observed a linear and statistically significant association between residential radon and lung cancer, with lung cancer risk increasing by a 16% for each 100 Bq/m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>.

The sectors initially selected for measurements were education, healthcare, public transportation with underground premises, and touristic venues (hotels and spas) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>). The total number of measurements, due to funding constraints, was limited to 250, so the number of workplaces was to be smaller as some workplaces had more than one measurement.

A workplace was included for measurement only if we had permission to measure radon. In order to encourage participation, we prepared leaflets mentioning that the study was free of charge and absolutely confidential. The team presented the project and its objectives personally or through email or phone. Some companies were contacted through their prevention delegates with the help of regional federations of the union labour “Comisiones Obreras”.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Once the recruitment of companies and administration started, we had to modify part of our strategy due to difficulties in recruiting premises or public institutions interested in taking part in the study. So, we proceeded to enlarge the recruitment criteria (including approximately 100 additional workplace measurements) in the following way: a) additional measurements were added to the sample from the hospitality sector in locations outside our first designed setting, as an industry group interested in taking part of the study asked for those measurements; b) we also collected measurements from office premises belonging to companies in any productive sector; and finally c) we used some measurements in workplaces made by the Galician Radon Laboratory in Galicia.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Radon devices were preferentially placed in ground floors and in cellars if those were used as a usual workplace for at least one worker. If the building had more floors, a radon device was placed if the number of workers upstairs was relevant (i.e. some education centres). In some cases, we also measured upper floors because responsibles were interested in having results there. To measure a workplace, a worker should be there during at least a 70% of the time of his/her daily work time.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For each measurement place, we collected relevant information such as floor of the building, presence of elevators, number of floors underneath, air conditioning, measurement period, and so on.

It is also important to mention that high concentrations of indoor radon may be found also in workplaces settled in regions which are not characterized as radon-prone areas. Though this is a pilot study, it is the most relevant research of its kind performed in Spain. It is important to mention that studies such as the present one, which are focused in workplaces not usually classified as “high radon exposure”, provide very useful evidence on prevention practices, and that an integral approach to radon risk assessment should be enforced in Spain, particularly when Spain does not have a National Radon Plan.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Indoor radon is a recognized human carcinogen but available studies analysing its concentrations in occupational settings are still scarce and have been mainly focused in workplaces where it is expected to find high concentrations such as touristic caves, old buildings, mines, cellars and so on.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11,17,18</span></a> Though radon concentrations observed in some of these studies are high, the number of workers exposed is usually low if we consider an overall workforce. England is one of the European countries with better by-laws regarding indoor radon (both residential and occupational). It is recommended to routinely test occupied basements for radon and there is a recent recommendation to include radon in risk assessments of basements of all workplace types, irrespective if they are or not in radon affected areas.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a> The yearly minimum occupation of a workplace to be measured should be 50<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>hours for radon affected areas and 250<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>hours in non-affected areas. In the present study we wanted to characterize workplaces and institutions with a high number of employees, such as public administration, education buildings and private sector, among others. In many of these places, radon devices were measuring radon exposure of many workers sharing the same office, something common in many occupations.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A study performed in workplaces of Extremadura (approximately 150 measurements) obtained a geometric mean of 130 Bq/m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>. Of workplaces, 31% had measurements over 200 Bq/m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> and 13% had indoor radon concentrations above 400 Bq/m<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span>.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> These figures are quite similar to the results obtained in the present study. The highest radon concentrations were observed in spas and in a touristic cave. In the present study, we have observed the highest radon concentrations in the public administration sector, which concentrates a high number of workers in Spain. We do not have any specific explanation for this finding, which perhaps could be related to the fact that some of the buildings measured are built of stone and are quite old. We have observed in previous studies in Galician dwellings that the age of the dwelling predicts a higher radon concentration.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> The sector with the lowest radon concentrations is the tourist sector. Perhaps this is due because the tourist sector (hotels) is prone to more ventilated entry areas and presence of climatization with a regulated interchange of air. It is well known that buildings with proper climatization tend to have lower radon concentration.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For many of the participating institutions, employers, and persons in charge of health and safety management, this study gave the first information and awareness on indoor radon, showing the impressive lack of knowledge on radon exposure and its health risks in Spain. Furthermore, we faced important reluctance when trying to find employers willing to collaborate with us. In fact, while we initially intended to finish the study in one year, it had to be extended an additional year to achieve our objective of 250 indoor radon measurements.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The new EU Directive<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> was to be enforced in February 2018 in all EU countries. This directive will be particularly important in those countries with poor bylaws on indoor radon, which is the case of Spain. These results should be a heads-up for employers and workers and we expect an increase on radon awareness in those parties. Nevertheless, the Spanish Government has not transposed the directive in time and will be fined by the European Commission. Other countries have perfectly defined which workplaces should be measured, such as the Czech Republic, where workplaces built after radon regulation laws have to have effective radon mitigation structures.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0230"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> Exposure to radon at work has to be added to a potential exposure to radon at home, particularly in radon-prone areas.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This research has certain limitations. The main one is that we have not performed a systematic approach to radon measurement in workplaces, established by workplace characteristics, sector or an a priori high radon risk. This was not our first intention but we can anticipate that it would have been a very difficult task to have this systematic approach due to the lack of collaboration we faced in many cases. Therefore, we have to define our sampling as opportunistic. Related to this sampling is the fact that we cannot consider our results as representative of the Spanish population. Nevertheless, the fact of having found high radon concentrations in unexpected areas is relevant and aligned with recent recommendations to measure cellars and ground workplaces released by Public Health England.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a></p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has also some advantages, such as having used a reliable radon device such as an alpha-track type, which is the recommended for measuring radon exposure according to international guidelines.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> The detectors were read at the Laboratorio de Radón de Galicia (<a href="http://www.radongal.com/">www.radongal.com</a>) at the University of Santiago de Compostela, which is a recognized facility in radon research<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,6</span></a> having measured 11 Spanish provinces for the residential radon map of Spain. Finally, the number of measurements is quite high given the lack of research on this field in Spain.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To conclude, we have found that radon concentration in Spanish workplaces might be high, particularly in radon-prone areas and old buildings. We have also observed that some workplaces have high radon concentrations in unexpected geographical locations. These results might have important implications and have served to one of the most important Spanish labour unions (Comisiones Obreras) to compose and distribute a radon information leaflet distributed to all representatives of the different regions.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0235"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span></a> With these results we have taken action at governmental level to increase radon awareness. There is currently a mandatory by-law where all regional public administrations should have and maintain a registry of workplaces where radon concentrations of workplaces in certain industries have to be communicated,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> but we are aware that despite more than 6 years have elapsed since the enactment of that law, some regions do not even have such registry. There is a feeling of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">déjà-vu</span> when checking an editorial published in this journal in 2014 where we advertised on the need of more action regarding radon exposure.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0240"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> It is also important to raise concern among employers, who have the duty of protecting workers from a recognized human carcinogen such as indoor radon, workers, union labours and on risks prevention workers. Finally, the need to develop a National Radon Plan, which is present in many EU countries, should overcome many of the problems and difficulties faced in the present study.<elsevierMultimedia ident="tb0005"></elsevierMultimedia></p></span><span id="sec0070" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0130">Editor in charge</span><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Juanjo Alguacil.</p></span><span id="sec0075" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0135">Transparency declaration</span><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The corresponding author on behalf of the other authors guarantee the accuracy, transparency and honesty of the data and information contained in the study, that no relevant information has been omitted and that all discrepancies between authors have been adequately resolved and described.</p></span><span id="sec0080" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0140">Authorship contributions</span><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">All authors have contributed equally to the manuscript content.</p></span><span id="sec0085" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0145">Funding</span><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This paper has been funded by a competitive research grant of the Fundación Prevent (2015) entitled Exposición laboral a radón interior en España – Estudio piloto.
