The
good news about radon is that it is relatively easy to control. Research
carried out by the US EPA and others has shown that it is possible to bring
down the radon levels in buildings. There are a wide variety of remediation techniques
available, and which one is most appropriate for a given building will depend
on the amount of radon it contains and the design of the structure. Building
owners should seek the advice of state-licensed mitigation contractors. A
list of state-licensed mitigation
contractors is provided on this site. These people can also perform the
initial radon testing. However, if there is a concern about a possible conflict
of interest, owners may wish to consider having the initial radon measurements,
on which the decision to remediate are based, conducted by a different
state-licensed company.
