The Europeans have done a lot of work on radon concentration in various
environments.  I suggest you contact 
Dr. Jaak Sinnaeve
Directorate General for science, Research and Development, Energy

Inthe meantime, here are some references concerning radon concentration in
non uranium mines:

	Chruscielewski, W. ert al, 
	Radon concentration in air of Polish Coal mines , pp. 297-301
	(Proceedings of the Intern. Conf. on Occupational Radiation Safety in
Mining, H. Stocker, Ed., Publisher: Canadian Nuclear Association, 	1984
	
	Bernhard S. et al., 
	Identification of Non-uranium mines which present a radon risk 	through
measurement of exhaust air
	Same reference as above, pp. 307-316

	This reference has several other entries about radon in non uranium 	mines.
