The purpose of the Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) stakeholder meetings are to gather MDH’s radon partners, including measurement and mitigation providers (contractors), local public health agencies, and other non-governmental organizations to update and share Minnesota specific radon information. These meetings disseminate pertinent radon information from our partners and educate stakeholders on more technical topics like quality control for radon measurements and advanced diagnostics for radon mitigation.
This particular meeting is unique as we used the resources available from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Summit to include the nationally respected speakers at our event, who shared their experiences with our stakeholders.
We anticipated that everybody in attendance would come away with some new knowledge and will hopefully be able to apply that knowledge in their everyday professional lives.
Topics of focus were for the radon contractors that participated in the meeting, such as, a federal update from AARST and EPA, (Putting a Face on Radon), and a technical session regarding advanced diagnostics, standard review, and optimal radon system design.
The next steps are; planning for the Quarter 4 stakeholder agenda for the Minnesota contractors upcoming fall meeting.
