As far as training goes to set canisters...........if you can read you can do it!

The continuous monitoring devices are no different then above but give you a read out of any particular time.

Also radon standards by some hygienist is a joke Radon: Risk and Reality
If you do radon testing you need to first find out if your state has any license requirements. Then if you do test you need to follow the EPA or your states requirements.

As for Caoimhín, he is very well known and respected. He just subscribes to a different scientific ideology when it comes to radon. Is he right, I don't know but I still subscribe to the EPA guidelines and standards as this is all that we really have to go with in the USA.
