Description:
The manual, in support of the Florida Radon Research Program, contains standard protocols for key measurements where data quality is vital to the program. t contains two sections. he first section, soil measurements, contains field sampling protocols for soil gas permeability and radon concentration, in-situ soil density, soil classification, and penetrometer analysis. aboratory procedures include soil moisture, radium and radon emanation, particle- size analysis, specific gravity, the proctor method for moisture/density relationships, a laboratory gas permeability test, a radon diffusion coefficient measurement, and two radon flux measurements. he second section, building measurements, includes diagnostic procedures for sub-slab radon, sub-slab communication, and differential pressure measurements followed by building leakage measurements.
