OSTI ID:7072214

This bibliography contains citations concerning continuous and passive radon (Rn) and Rn daughters concentration monitoring, measuring methods, equipment, and related health effects 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. (Contains 282 citations fully indexed and including a title list.)
