Nick,

In an earlier thread you posted thanks to Health Canada for contributing to the radon course. How come there is nothing listed above?

[Nick Gromicko]

This is the group that worked with HC on radon: Federal Provincial Territorial Radiation Protection. It is interesting to note that despite this being the age of the internet, several of the documents listed above are not available online. We had to get researchers to dig them up and ship them to us. ASTM was the only group that does not permit duplication of their documents, even for educational puposes. The rest were graciously made available to InterNACHI to use.

Thanks for the clarification Nick.

So Health Canada "contributed" the above document to your research for the course. Nickey, when a government dept sends you an "in the public domain" document when requested, I wouldn't call it a contribution but the gov dept providing a service as is their mandate!!!

THE (SPIN) DOCTOR IS ALWAYS "IN"!!!!
