National radon database documentation. Volume 2. The EPA/state residential radon surveys: Year 2. Final report, 1986-1992
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. The goals of the state radon surveys were twofold. Some measure of the distribution of radon levels among residences was desired for major geographic areas within each state and for each state as a whole. In addition, it was desired that each state survey would be able to identify areas of potentially high residential radon concentrations (hot spots) in the state, enabling the state to focus its attention on areas where indoor radon concentrations might pose a greater health threat. During the winter and spring of 1987-88, EPA assisted seven states in conducting statewide radon surveys and in addition assisted the Indian Health Service (IHS) in conducting a survey of homes on Indian lands located in EPA region 5. The Year 2 states are: Arizona; Indiana; Massachusetts; Minnesota; Missouri; North Dakota; Pennsylvania; and EPA Region 5 Indian Lands.
