The use of volunteer radon measurements for radon mapping purposes: an examination of sampling bias issues.

Journal article

Abstract:: National and regional radon surveys are used in many nations to produce maps detailing the spatial variation of indoor radon concentrations. National surveys which are designed to be representative use either a geographically-weighted or a population-weighted sampling scheme.
