During 1986 and 1987 the state of Florida experienced thorough studies of indoor air pollution. The Florida Statewide Radiation Study surveyed over 6,000 Florida homes for indoor radon concentrations. Randomly selected homes in every country of the state were included. In half the homes, radon in outdoor soil gas, and total gamma radiation levels both indoors and out were included. Besides the new measurements, historical data were compiled and geologic data assessed to predict, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, where indoor radon may be a problem in the state. The results of the study are presented in this paper.
