The National Radon Database has been developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to distribute information collected in two recently completed radon surveys: the EPA/State Residential Radon Surveys, Years 1 to 6; and The National Residential Radon Survey. This is a national survey of the annual radon levels in all residences across the U.S. This survey is statistically valid at a national and federal region level. The NRRS survey was conducted in 1989-1990 in two phases. Phase I of the survey concentrated on survey design and implementation, identifying households to be sampled, interviewing residences of those households, and placement of the detectors. Phase II involved three rounds of panel maintenance, final detector collection, data analysis, and the production of a final report in three volumes.
