How to Protect Against Radon Exposure in Homes

Course No. BD-1009

Credit: 1 PDH

Course Fee: $28.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Vincent D. Reynolds, M.B.A., P.E.

Overview

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can be harmful when exposed to humans. Any exposure to Radon is considered detrimental to human health although levels in excess of 4 pCi/L should be mitigated to acceptable levels. Studies have shown that Radon in the home causes more deaths per year than drowning, falls in home, and home fires combined. Radon can only be discovered through tests because it cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can therefore be considered an invisible killer.

Elevated levels of Radon can be found in nearly 1 out of every 15 homes in the U.S. Due to the danger posed; all houses should be tested for elevated levels of Radon. If Radon is deemed a problem at your home or business there are several ways to mitigate the Radon down to acceptable levels. There are several links in the text with contact information for the State Radon offices throughout the U.S. and its territories.

The study materials for this course are based solely on the text “A Citizen’s Guide to Radon – The Guide to Protecting Yourself and Your Family From Radon” as published by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
