EPA has recognized Nevada’s proactive efforts as being a “Successful approach for addressing radon in homes and residential real estate transactions.”
The EPA noted:
"Nevada tested more than 3,600 housing units for radon, of which, 190 were mitigated for radon and 19 were built with radon-reducing features. Although Nevada does not currently have regulation requiring new construction to incorporate features that reduce radon, three builders include radon-reducing features in all houses. These activities demonstrate proactive measures taken to address radon exposure in Nevada, even in the absence of regulatory support for radon-resistant new construction measures."
.
Other proactive measures include training for real estate professionals and online guidance.
The Nevada Radon Education Program (NREP) offers a one-hour continuing education (CE) course that can be offered at Realtor broker offices and through Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors (RSAR) ProSeries.
Online guidance is provided on a variety of topics including:
• Two basic rules to consider regarding Radon in Real Estate
• What is radon and why are we concerned?
• Radon concern in Nevada
• Continuing education (CE) course for Realtors
• Representing a buyer
• Representing a seller
