Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stack effect refers to the movement of air into and out of buildings, chimneys, flue-gas stacks, or other containers, driven by buoyancy. Buoyancy occurs due to a difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density resulting from temperature and moisture differences. This effect can accelerate the release of radon from the soil into homes as the pressure differences can draw radon gas from the ground into the building.
