You wouldn't test in the crawlspace. You test in the lowest livible area, which is typically a basement or first floor in cases of a crawlspace.

Why would you be doung a radon measurement in a crawlspace?

Follow EPA and State protocols.

Typically, one measures either lowest living area or livable area. Crawlspaces fall into neither category.

Mark V.,

I don't support 1027's, but I do support understanding radon and doing things by the protocols, regardless of the device used. Give me a call and I can find your best avenue for training and certification. I'll be in Greensboro next week and can sit down and talk if needed. Holler if you have questions or want to meet.

I think we're doing the Winston Cup Museum (NASCAR goodies) Wednesday night in Winston-Salem. Want to come along? BTW, my boss used to build cars driven by many HOF racers, such as Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, Fireball Roberts, Tiny Lund, Dave Marcus, and the list goes on... The museum history starts at 1971, only 3 years before he got out of racing (after 14 years), but there might be a few tidbits of history that make it worth the trip. I'm pumped to hear how the museum screwed up and doesn't really understand!

Check with your state to see if there is a requirement and what they are. State of Michigan still has no requirements unlike Illinois and Indiana.

When it comes to Radon Monitors, does anyone know anything about AccuStar? They have a pulse Ionization chamber RS300 model for $800 that comes with a USB port, has a battery life of 8 to 10 days, 16 counts per hours and can be mounted on a tripod.
