In reading your submittal on Radon Gas I first came upon this item as it related to accumulation in homes. Twenty years ago I lived in the state of New Jersey where a number of areas had high levels of Radon Gas in the homes. Throughout the state no one could sell their homes without having a Radon dector placed in their home and recorded the accumulation for one week. If someone (and there were many) exceeded a critical level they could not sell their home until a ventilation system was added and the home re-evaluated. I remember this as it related to me when I went to sell my home. A Radon dector was placed in my home and when the person left I took the recorder and put it out in the yard. One week later I put the detector back in the house to be picked up. Right or wrong it was not a concern when I sold the house.

Selling the house in New Jersey was a challenge. Every room in the house was checked for EMI levels from the power lines, the water supply was evaluated for contamination, we needed our marriage license to prove we were married, our birth certificates were required, the fire dept checked the smoke detectors, and on and on.

The only message I can give you is that I was glad to get out of there!!!!!!!!!
