An evaluation of the screening measurement as an indicator of average annual indoor radon exposure / by Michael W.R. LaFontaine ; CMHC Project Officer: Jim White.: NH17-240/1996E-PDF

"A study was conducted during the period 1994-1995, to evaluate the radon screening measurement as an indicator of average annual indoor radon exposure. Data for the study was obtained from 24 single family detached homes from across the province of Ontario. Short-term (4 day) radon screening measurements were made in the basement and main living areas of each household, during each season: summer, fall, winter and spring. In addition to the screening measurements, a long-term (annual) radon measurement was made in the main living area of each home. All short-term and long-term measurements were made with electret ion chambers"--Executive summary, p. iii.
