OSTI ID:6954884

The bibliography contains citations concerning continuous and passive radon (Rn) monitoring, measurement methods, equipment, and health effects from Rn concentration in air, water, and soils. The design, development, and evaluations of Rn and Rn-daughter monitoring and detection devices are presented, including alpha spectroscopy and dosimetry, track detecting and scintillation, thermoluminescent, electret, and electrode collection. The citations also examine sources of Rn concentration levels found in building materials, ventilation systems, soils, and ground water. Lung cancer-associated risks from Rn radiation exposure are examined. Radon monitoring in mining operations is excluded. (Contains 250 citations and includes a subject term index and title list.)
