- Radon
- As of 5/3/11, from discussion with the board, Facilities Director and concerned parties, the following course of action is recommended:
- Purchase a radon test kit and perform a self-test. A test is cheap; up to $15 for a test kit and 3 days to 12 months of testing (per here).
- Ask for a radon clause on the next lease term for our safety and coverage (none on current lease term). We had one for the 203 Brown St lease stating the building tested as radon safe. A similar one is recommended that would state landlord responsibility for testing and, if needed, mitigations.
- Take action as needed based on the radon test results.
- The basis of the action is that radon, as a radioactive gas, poses a long-term health risk and that Madison County has a high potential of having dangerous levels of radon (more information from here). To detail, per Madison County Radon Test Results; in the zip code for 414 Stevens Ave 35801, 2225 homes have tested with an average radon level of 6.05 picoCuries of radiation per litre of air (pCi/l). Above 4 pCi/l is the recommended action level by EPA and AL Department of Health. 35.78% of the homes tested are over this limit. Note that building construction affects radon levels. Therefore, a radon test is needed to accurately confirm elevated levels of radon.
- Notes: Details on Madison County radon levels and testing and mitigation resources here.
- As of 5/3/11, from discussion with the board, Facilities Director and concerned parties, the following course of action is recommended:
