7. Problems 7.56 and 7.57 (modified), Masters and Ela, Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science, 3rd Ed.: a. A single-story home with infiltration rate of 0.38 ach has 300m2 of floor space and a total volume of 850m3. If 0.4pCi/m2s of radon is emitted from the soil and enters the house, where it undergoes decay (reference Table 7.14), estimate the steady-state indoor radon concentration. b. If the house were to have been built as a two-story house with 150m2 on each floor and the same total volume, what would be the estimated radon concentration
