I just sent an email to the author of the article. I suggest you all do the same.

At least here, in a crawlspace, a 3" gap must be left between the foam and the floor joists for termite inspection, just the same as with rigid foam and polyethylene vapor barriers.

Some of the Alpha Track detectors have a hook by which they may be hung (or they can be set on a shelf or furniture). Probably depends on the particular device.

What killed them; bouncing off the concrete?

And what happens to the supposedly radioactive houseplants? Do they mutate like Little Shop of Horrors? Do they become radiation sources themselves? Enquiring minds want to know!

It is a quadraplex condo with one large crawlspace under the two lower units. No firewall.The walls of the lower level rooms are accessible from the crawlspace, and the lower level closet even has an access hatch to the crawlspace.

Shocking!

This is outrageous! Please add your comments on YouTube. You may see my response there.

I have seen photos of ballooning barriers from areas with karst geology. Not a problem where I am.

I always got them from the AARST office (which has always been within a few miles of home.)

See Jay Bauder's first comment above^^. Silicone is the Post-it-Note of caulks: Sticks well to smooth, clean surfaces, and is easily removed.

Jeff, I don't think that is possible to define, as very few lung cancer patients have lived in the same house their entire lives, and radon concentrations vary over time. As Dr, Field's document states, the data is more accurate with study participants who move less, and those that have data from previous homes. One could make a correlation between incidence of lung cancer and radon concentrations in the homes occupied by the patients at time of diagnosis, but I don't see much value in that.

Thanks.

The firemen checked. Consensus is that the young lady was “spooked” by the radon mitigation notice sent out.

I made sure the firemen were properly educated about radon, and they calmed the student down.

Rather confusing verbiage; but we do not know if that is the fault of the reporter or the interviewee.

I hope that is not a radon vent in #46! There is a radon sticker in #96.

Latest track shows direct hit on Myrtle Beach. Possible 17' storm surge. Possible 2-4 FEET of rain!
Hotel is beachfront, so storm surge is big concern.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
