RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CODE IMPACTS ON RADON
Citation:
Galbraith, S., T. Brennan, AND M. Osborne. RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CODE IMPACTS ON RADON. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-88/059.
Description:
The paper discusses residential construction code impacts on radon. It references existing residential construction codes that pertain to the elements of construction that impact either the ability to seal radon out of houses or the ability to achieve good soil ventilation for radon control. Several inconsistencies in the codes that will impact radon resistant construction are identified. Resolution of these resulting radon issues is necessary before specification style building codes can be developed to achieve radon resistant construction.
