Re: Radon Survey

[sergio fierman <sergio@bgumail.bgu.ac.il>]

Dear Gustavo
There are many national Radon Surveys, but there is an american study 
that was sponsored by EPA, and was published in Physics Today.
If I'll have time I'll look for the exact date of publication.

It seems to me, according to my experience that it's very difficult or 
almost impossible to make correlations between short and long range 
measurements, due to dependence on weather, period during the year( 
summer or winter,...), etc.

Good luck!

Sergio
