RADON MONITORING
PROGRAM
Since
1987, the Department of Occupational Health and Safety has conducted over 100
radon surveys in University-owned buildings to assess the radon exposure to occupants.
Corrective actions are employed whenever occupants are exposed to levels exceeding
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 4 picocuries of radon
per liter of air.
Each
year approximately 10 additional radon surveys are performed. Any member
of the
University community may request a radon survey of their workplace by contacting
Tara Reynolds, Department of
Occupational
Health and Safety at 831-0690.
Questions
regarding radon monitoring may be addressed to William Fendt at WFendt@udel.edu
or call 831-1434.
