National radon database documentation. Volume 1. The EPA/state residential radon surveys: Year 1. Final report, 1986-1992

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6978279

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. Since the winter of 1986-87, the EPA has assisted 42 states in conducting surveys of indoor 222Rn concentrations. The document discusses the survey for the first year 1986-87 for the following states: Alabama; Colorado; Connecticut; Kansas; Kentucky; Michigan; Rhode Island; Tennessee; Wisconsin; and Wyoming.
