OSTI ID:5720875

This bibliography contains citations concerning continuous and passive radon (Rn) and Rn daughters monitoring, measuring methods, equipment, and health effects from their concentration in air, water, and soils. The design, development, and evaluations of Rn monitoring and detection devices are presented, including alpha spectroscopy and dosimetry, track detecting and scintillation, thermoluminescent, electret, and electrode collection. Sources of Rn concentration levels found in building materials, ventilation systems, soils, and ground water are considered. Lung cancer associated risks from Rn radiation exposure are examined. Radon monitoring in mining operations is excluded. (This updated bibliography contains 350 citations, 68 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
