ere's a timely book that brings together reports by leading experts on a topic of increasing concern. ... the high levels of radon being found in indoor air. The realization of the potential for widespread effects of rad' and its decay products on lung cancer rates has been growing in the radon research community for almost a decade. This book offers the first comprehensive look at recent findings in the field of radon-related research, with a strong emphasis on the fundamental chemical questions involved. You'll find coverage on key topics in the recent radon debate, including · mitigation measures • health effects · occurrence · measurement methods · chemical properties. Because of its broad scope, international perspective, and current relevance, this book is an invaluable treatise on the radon problem. Philip K. Hopke, Editor ACS Symposium Series No. 331 LC 86-32042 ISBN 0-8412-1015-2
