Read a science fair radon paper titled Radon Mitigation for Windsor Colorado, written by Jenna Brethauer, a 6th grade student at the Windsor Charter Academy in Windsor, Colorado.

You are invited to attend the Second Annual Region 8 EPA Radon Stakeholders' Meeting. This meeting is being held at no cost for all those who have a stake in protecting the public from unnecessary exposure to radon in their homes, schools and businesses.

EPA Region 8 and its partner, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, seek to bring interested stakeholders together to discuss common issues and understand them from other perspectives, provide insight into the future, share, educate and network.

We believe meetings such as this will better provide all of us with ways to assist the public and reduce radon exposures. We hope to see you in Denver, Colorado on April 7 & 8, 2011.

Meeting Registration: There will be no cost for the conference on April 7. There will be two 8 hour CE courses on April 8 with a nominal fee. Registration will be required. A tentative agenda and registration will be available after February 14, 2011 at www.coloradoradon.info.

I wanted to make this study available to the RadonLeaders.org community.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of radon-resistant new construction (RRNC) in a Colorado Front Range community. Please find the study attached below.

A point which needs to be made again and again.... Take a look at the language on the county-by-county cancer risk map. "Environmental regulators generally consider an excess of 100 cancers per 1 million unacceptably high (that's 1 in 10,000 for those that don't want to do the math). So why is radon @ 7 per 1,000 the continuously unregulated/ignored contaminant? (A redundant question, but none-the-less frustrating!). A good point to make in presentations, etc. Just my thoughts.... Chrys
