| Abstract |
An evaluation is presented on state-of-the-art radon daughter control measures for proposed structures which have radon exhalation through the foundations. Five technologies are evaluated for cost-effectiveness: ventilation, polymeric sealants, excavation, ventilated crawl space construction, and improved slab construction. The implementation of these control measures by the builder through interaction with local health authorities is also evaluated. |

Presented at the Health Physics Society Tenth Midyear Topical Symposium on Natural Radioactivity in Man's Environment, Saratoga Springs, New York, Oct. 10-13, 1976. Includes appendixes. Includes bibliographical references (pages 59-62). |
