The measurement of /sup 222/Rn and its relationship to environmental variables: Factors controlling indoor radon: Final report for the contract period June 1, 1982 to May 31, 1985

Technical Report Harley, N

Indoor levels of radon-222 and daughter nuclei were monitored at various locations within a single family dwelling and in an apartment building. Indoor levels were correlated with soil temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, rain and time of year. 9 refs., 23 figs., 19 tabs.
The measurement of /sup 222/Rn and its relationship to environmental variables: Factors controlling indoor radon: Final report for the contract period June 1, 1982 to August 31, 1986

Technical Report Harley, N

The report summarizes a project in which a new detector for measuring ''radon only'' was designed and built. The units built were then used to measure hourly data indoors and outdoors in two locations to investigate the apportionment of the indoor radon source term. (ACR)
Measurement of /sup 222/Rn indoors and outdoors. Progress report, June 1, 1982-May 31, 1983

Technical Report Harley, N; Altman, S

Research progress is reported on a study of the levels and variability of Radon 222 both indoors and outdoors. Sensors were deployed in a single family dwelling and in a high-rise apartment building. Temperature, pressure, relative humidity, rainfall, and wind data were also collected at these sites. Modeling of indoor radon concentrations has been initiated. (ACR)
Factors controlling indoor radon levels. Annual report, June 1983-May 1984

Technical Report Harley, N

The factors which contribute to indoor radon levels were investigated. Soil moisture content appears to be such a factor and influences indoor radon levels in a subtle way. The single family dwelling studied here is a typical suburban home, with a full basement, two living levels and a full attic. Seasonal data for 1981 to 1983 are shown by hour (about 90 hours in each average) for the basement, first floor and outdoors. A twenty-five story, 225 apartment, high rise building has been under study for about the same time interval. The apartment has five rooms, and is on themore »« less
{sup 222}Rn levels in Kingsville, Texas, and vicinity near an in situ uranium mine

Conference McGehee, T; Martino, M; Harr, T; ...

An investigation of the {sup 222}Rn levels in ground water, soils, and indoor air has disclosed two {sup 222}Rn ground-water anomalies in the Kingsville, Texas, area from uranium-enriched sandstones of the Evangeline aquifer. Indoor air {sup 222}Rn levels were measured in summer 1991 (from undetectable to 3.2 pCi/l) and winter 1991-1992 (0.01 to 3.98 pCi/l) to determine seasonal extremes and risk to the public. Soil {sup 222}Rn concentration maps ranging from undetectable to 75.4 pCi/l correlate to the low levels found in homes. Results of this study are based on analyses of 218 water samples, 52 in situ soil samples,more »« less
