Relatively few data are available about how people comply with Environmental Protection Agency recommendations concerning retesting and mitigation after either an initial screening or long term test for radon gas. Using data from the 1990 and 1991 National Health Interview Surveys, we found that 40.7% (standard error 6.4%) of homes with radon levels above 148 Bq m(-3) in 1990 and 34.3% (standard error 4.9%) of homes with levels above 148 Bq m(-3) in 1991 were retested. Among homes that were retested and had either an initial screening or followup test above 148 Bq m(-3), 28.2% (standard error 6.4%) were mitigated in 1990 compared with 48.4% (standard error 14.4%) that did so in 1991. These results suggest that most people are not complying with current EPA recommendations for retesting and mitigation.
关于人们如何遵守美国环境保护局（EPA）有关在进行氡气初始筛查或长期检测后重新检测及缓解措施的建议，现有数据相对较少。利用1990年和1991年全国健康访谈调查的数据，我们发现，1990年氡气水平高于148贝克勒尔每立方米（Bq m⁻³）的家庭中有40.7%（标准误差6.4%）重新进行了检测，1991年氡气水平高于148 Bq m⁻³的家庭中有34.3%（标准误差4.9%）重新进行了检测。在重新检测且初始筛查或后续检测高于148 Bq m⁻³的家庭中，1990年有28.2%（标准误差6.4%）采取了缓解措施，而1991年这一比例为48.4%（标准误差14.4%）。这些结果表明，大多数人并未遵守美国环境保护局目前关于重新检测和缓解措施的建议。
