Editor's Notes

  1. It is a lie made up by the EPA to scare people and give inspectors another revenue stream. What do you know about Radon?
  2. CERTIFIED measurement and mitigators Hours of education CERTI slides
  3. Show EPA Citizens Guide
  4. Coach clients on basement use, Long Term tests, who pays
  5. Being exposed to radon does not mean that you will contract lung cancer. To develop lung cancer from radon the radiation released from its decay has to strike a lung cell and within that lung cell it has to strike a specific location. Since the radiation is released in a random manner, the potential for lung cancer increases with exposure, whether that be exposure to a small amount of radon for a long period of time or a high amount of radon for a short period of time. The probability of contracting lung cancer is like a blind folded person tossing darts at dartboard. If the person tosses a single dart at a time, it is probable that it will take a considerable period of time before the person strikes the bulls eye. On the other hand, if the person throws a handful of darts at a time, it is likely that less time will pass before the person strikes the bulls eye.
  6. “Voluntary” Compliance How YOU, the agent, can help
  7. Why we are CERTIFIED
