The University of Iowa, in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency's State Radon Survey Assistance Program, performed a 222Rn screening survey of 582 rural households in the winter of 1989. The distribution of maximum indoor 222Rn concentrations throughout Iowa as well as the relationship between 222Rn screening measurements, detector placement, and housing characteristics are summarized. This report is unique in that site-specific home construction characteristics were collected in the field from participants prior to 222Rn monitoring. The findings of the survey indicate that the significance of a particular housing characteristic on a 222Rn screening measurement is dependent on the placement of the radon detector.
爱荷华大学与美国环境保护局的州氡气调查援助项目合作，于1989年冬季对582户农村家庭进行了²²²Rn筛查调查。总结了爱荷华州室内²²²Rn最大浓度的分布情况，以及²²²Rn筛查测量、探测器放置和房屋特征之间的关系。本报告的独特之处在于，在进行²²²Rn监测之前，在现场从参与者那里收集了特定地点的房屋建造特征。调查结果表明，特定房屋特征对²²²Rn筛查测量的影响程度取决于氡探测器的放置位置。
