Abstract |
The proceedings document presentations at a symposium, jointly sponsored by the U.S. EPA's Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory (EPA-AEERL) and Office of Radiation Programs (EPA-ORP), held in Atlanta, GA, on February 19-23, 1990. The symposium provided a forum for the exchange of technical information on radon and radon reduction technology in the indoor environment. The meeting was intended to both educate and inform. Oral papers, along with panel and poster presentations, on recent research in radon and radon reduction methods provided for interesting exchanges in such areas as: government activities in radon, radon health studies, radon measurement methods, radon surveys, radon entry dynamics, radon in the natural environment, radon reduction methods, radon prevention in new construction, and radon in schools and other large buildings. This volume has 45 poster papers and the lead talk was on 'Reducing the Health Risks of Radon to the Public'. |
