Thank you for participating in this survey about draft changes to CDC EPHT's Radon Data Dictionary for Labs. The changes are intended to address well-known deficiencies such as missing items required by the ANSI-AARST standards, insufficient descriptions of multiple tests of the same unit, and inadequate descriptors of buildings. IEA will compile the results for CDC.
The draft revised data dictionary and the prior version, as well as background information, can be viewed here. The draft (and this survey) do not cover address fields and other geography-related factors.
Deadline: Monday December 1. One response per business/organization please.
