Abstract

Radon contamination of dwellings has only recently been recognized as a significant problem in the United States. This paper describes the geographical distribution of radon gas, along with a discussion of its fundamental health effects. Various methods to measure radon and radon daughter concentration levels are presented. Recommended action levels for radon gas exposure in dwellings are summarized, and factors which influence measured radon concentrations are discussed. © 1989 G, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
