Was the database of builders using RRNC techniques ever completed? If so, can someone point me in the right direction for where I can find it?

Colleagues,

Recently, I received a copy of a letter from resident of a recently built home expressing concern to her county health department, building code official, and mayor about elevated indoor radon (over 200 pCi/L), subsequent extremely difficult mitigation process, and the need for radon control requirements in building codes.

I believe the letter offers a very strong testimony to the importance of radon prevention in new construction. The author of the letter has given permission to distribute the correspondence and it follows.

Very nice spot on KBVC in NV. Adrian does a fantastic job. All messages nailed, even granite. A few shots of the EPA lab in LV

I am looking for information on how to use PSA airtime as part of my State match for my SIRG.

I need a refresher course in the mechanism of how radon gets into the lungs.

I just had a client ask "does the amount of dust in my home's indoor air influence the level of radioactive exposure to the lungs?" Knowing that radon attaches to dust particles, it would seem that the more dust present, the more radon-laced dust particles one would inhale. Is this a fair assessment?

I await your learned responses.

Thanks, Ginger

UPCOMING WEBINAR: Using the Radon Change Package to Amplify the Results of Your Daily Work

Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at 2:00 PM ET
Forward this invitation.

Join a Webinar with radon program leaders from NJ and IL to learn how they used existing resources to achieve some of their most ambitious program goals. Learn the strategies NJ and IL followed and how the Radon Change Package can help you adapt these strategies to work for your program.

It is time to place your order for free radon collateral to supplement your 2009 National Radon Action Month outreach activities and events. Orders will be processed by TV Access, a contractor of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Only requests from regional, state, local government radon contacts will be filled until December 17, 2008.

After that date, TV Access will begin filling orders received from other radon stakeholders while supplies last.
