Description:
The report documents a workshop on radon potential mapping, in Gainesville, FL, on April 20, 1990. he workshop, part of the Florida Radon Research Program (FRRP), was designed to identify and discuss in an expert forum the technical issues associated with radon potential characterization of Florida lands. NOTE: he FRRP is aimed at developing radon-related building construction standards for Florida.) f developed, radon potential maps would be used to identify geographic areas with greatest potential for indoor radon problems so that appropriate precautions, specified by related building construction standards, could be taken. he workshop included background presentations by the FRRP program manager and the Soils Committee chairman, and topical presentations by four invited speakers on various issues and aspects of radon potential mapping. t also included two task group meetings that included all participants in discussing technical and institutional issues related to radon potential mapping. xisting radon maps for Florida and other states and regions were reviewed, and their uses of aeroradiometric, geological, indoor radon, and other data were identified. he technical basis for defining an indoor radon potential was presented, and the rationale and level of detail for radon maps were analyzed. vailable data sources were reviewed.
