Spruce Radon Training Announces Discounts for InterNACHI Members

 

WARD HILL, MA, November 1, 2006: Spruce Radon Training, along with cosponsors AccuStar Labs and RadonAway, has announced that they will offer discounted fees to members of a professional organization. Beginning immediately, members of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) will receive a 20 percent discount when enrolling in Spruce Radon Training courses.

 

Spruce's David Hill says, "Both Spruce and InterNACHI recognize that there is a growing need for well-informed, qualified professionals who can provide the public with accurate radon information and quality services. We believe that educated professionals can help to save lives endangered by exposure to radon in their homes and workplaces."

 

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that is a natural radioactive decay product of uranium, a common element in soil and rocks. Radon gas is considered harmless when dispersed in outdoor air but can be a serious health hazard when trapped in buildings. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the World Health Organization, the National Academy of Sciences, and the US Department of Health and Human Services have classified radon as a Class A human carcinogen. It causes more lung cancer deaths-more than 20,000 per year-in the U.S. than any other carcinogen except cigarette smoking.

 

Spruce Radon Training is highly regarded throughout the radon industry for the effectiveness of its courses and quality of training materials. Most classroom courses are taught by award-winning Senior Training Specialist Trudy Y. Smith, tsmith@spruce.com. Course listings and schedules can be found online at www.accustarlabs.com.
