title: Rapid assessment of environmental radon levels.
abstract: Radon is an important potential cause of cancer but this hazard is preventable. A rapid means of assessing the concentration of radon occurring in an area is described. The method requires only simple robust equipment to determine if there is a significant problem needing further detailed research. Results obtained in Cornwall by this method are shown to illustrate the potential for the procedure.
