Radon concentration measurements at 50 locations in the monitoring network at Canonsburg, Pa., are reported for the quarterly period of April 29 to July 28, 1980. In addition, a summary of all data from the date of initiation of the network (covering the period January 29 to July 28, 1980) is presented for comparison purposes. Average background in the Canonsburg area for the quarterly period was 0.21 pCi/liter with a range of 0.16 to 0.26 pCi/liter. This compares with an average for the first quarter of 0.18 pCi/liter and a range of 0.12 to 0.23 pCi/liter. Concentrations ranging from 0.27 to 0.75 pCi/liter at 17 locations exceeded the background range. These locations are predominantly downwind of the site in an easterly direction. A similar pattern is evident from the summary of data for the first two quarters.
