Four common diagnostic problems that inhibit radon mitigation

Creators

Description

This paper identifies four of the more significant diagnostic problems that have been observed during EPA's radon-mitigation efforts, explains why they are of concern, and, when possible, offers potential solutions. The problems are: (1) inconsistent sub-slab aggregate; (2) access to radon entry surfaces; (3) diurnal and seasonal variation in radon concentrations; and, (4) the impact of radon in water on radon in air
