Radon Standard for Multifamily Homes

AARST President William Angell announced that the AARST Consortium on National Radon Standards has released and published the long awaited American National Stanard on Protocols for Conducting Radon and Radon Decay Measurements in Multifamily Buildings. (MAMF-2010)

The recently approved ANSI-AARST radon standard provides specific protocols that include instructions on where to test, strategies for conducting reliable tests, and the reporting and associated quality control measurement technigues for testing radon in multi-family buildings.

This is the first consensus standard promulgated as an ANSI consensus standard by the AARST Consortium on National Radon Standards.

The consortium is an independent entity within AARST (with a separate Executive Stakeholders Commitee chaired by Gary Hodgden) that has been accredited as an ANSI Standards Developer. The consortium is working on a number of standards related to radon measurement and mitigation.

Bill and Shawn Price (Chair of the Standards Management Committee) thanked the Multifamily Committe Chair, Trudy Smith and members of the standards writing committee for their hard work in producing this much needed consensus standard for multi-family dwellings.

Copies of the new ANSI Multi-family Radon Measurement Standard were available at the Symposium and will be for sale on the AARST web site by the end of this month. For more information on the AARST Consortium on National Radon Standards go to www.radonstandards.us
