“…Because the factors that influence radon concentrations in buildings are largely independent and multiplicative, the distribution of radon concentrations is usually lognormal, so lognormal modeling can be used to produce accurate estimates of the proportion of homes above a reference level (Miles, 1998) (Bossew, 2010), although other transformations have also been investigated (Murphy and Organo, 2008). In the UK, radon maps were used to show the fraction of the housing stock above the action level in each 5-km grid square ( Figure 5) (Lomas et al, 1996).…”
