Broad input sought on new radon standards

NOTICE: New standards were released for public review on September 13, 2013.

Radon Measurement in Homes

Radon Measurement in Large Buildings

Radon Mitigation in Schools and Large Buildings

Radon Mitigation in Multifamily Buildings (2nd review)

You have seen the significance of these standards with HUD’s adoption of the Multifamily Measurement Standard. They can become very important to your practice and business. A few of the changes that have been made include:

Testing protocol for Radon Decay Products

Several important requirements now appear as recommendations

A wider audience (viz. global) is addressed

The broadest possible input is critical to ensuring these standards reflect best practices for measurement and mitigation in the face of a Class A carcinogen. Set aside time, now, to review the documents you’re interested in and submit your comments. Only then can radon professionals and those they serve have standards that make sense.
