***This email contains a working link for the SIRG Funding Needs Assessment Survey***

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American Association of Radon Scientist and Technologists (AARST) and the Conference of Radon Control Program Directors (CRCPD) would like to better understand the specific needs of state radon programs if State Indoor Radon Grants (SIRG) are not included in the 2013 Fiscal Budget. For future planning, it’s important that state program gaps be identified to ensure all possible and necessary steps be taken to fill those gaps. Please take fifteen minutes to provide your feedback.

When constructing new buildings in areas with high levels of radon, reduction of radon exposure risk is not an amenity. Yet radon reduction is included only in an optional appendix in the International Residential Code (IRC) and is not addressed at all in the International Building Code (IBC), which covers schools, apartment buildings, and many other types of structures.

ATTENTION:

Deadline Extended to May 21, 2012 – Call for volunteers and nominations for the Protocol for Conducting Radon Decay Product Measurements in Schools and Large Buildings (MALB) and Radon Mitigation Standards for Schools and Large Building (RMS-LB) Committees.

For more information on the committee structures, formation and associated workload, please visit http://www.radonleaders.org/node/18796 on Radonleaders.org.

We appreciate your support!

Sincerely,

The Standards Assistance Team

Announcement and formal request for volunteers:

Both those with experience in standards work and those new to standards work are welcome to throw their hat in the ring!

Radon Mitigation Standards for Multifamily Buildings. (Designation RMS-MF)

As one result from the publication of the Multifamily Measurement Protocols, the USEPA and other agencies working on the Interagency Federal Action Plan have expressed sincere desire for a sister mitigation document.
