  the

  a

  was

  not

  it

  considered

  to
• 1:14
  be
• 1:15
  a

  safe
• 1:15
  point.
• 1:16
  It

  was

  years

  when

  they

  at

  an

  our

  4

  came

  in
• 1:58
  asking
• 1:59
  about
• 1:59
  radon
• 2:00
  and
• 2:00
  it's
• 2:00
  something
• 2:01
  that
• 2:01
  we
• 2:01
  haven't

  they

  were

  right.
• 2:06
  We
• 2:06
  were
• 2:06
  missing

  something.

  Welcome

  Thanks

  for
• 2:20
  having
• 2:20
  me,
• 2:21
  man.
• 2:21
  You
• 2:22
  are
• 2:22
  one
• 2:22
  of
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  gurus
• 2:23
  out
• 2:24
  there
• 2:24
  because
• 2:24
  you
• 2:24
  have
• 2:25
  been
• 2:25
  doing
• 2:25
  this
• 2:25
  and
• 2:27
  really
• 2:27
  leading
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  charge
• 2:29
  with
• 2:30
  getting
• 2:30
  people
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  pay
• 2:31
  attention
• 2:31
  to
• 2:32
  this
• 2:33
  radioactive
• 2:34
  gas
• 2:34
  that
• 2:34
  nobody
• 2:34
  can
• 2:35
  see,
• 2:35
  smell
• 2:35
  or
• 2:36
  just
• 2:37
  notice
• 2:37
  around
• 2:38
  their
• 2:38
  home.
• 2:38
  It's
• 2:39
  been
• 2:39
  a
• 2:39
  long
• 2:39
  time.
• 2:39
  I've
• 2:40
  been
• 2:40
  working
• 2:40
  in
• 2:40
  radon
• 2:41
  related
• 2:42
  services
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  technology
• 2:44
  and
• 2:44
  businesses
• 2:45
  since
• 2:45
  about
• 2:45
  1987.
• 2:47
  A
• 2:47
  lot
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  experience.
• 2:48
  No
• 2:49
  kidding.
• 2:49
  And
• 2:50
  in
• 2:50
  Oregon,
• 2:51
  where
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  live
• 2:51
  here,
• 2:51
  for
• 2:52
  instance,
• 2:52
  and
• 2:52
  this
• 2:52
  is
• 2:53
  what
• 2:53
  really
• 2:53
  gets
• 2:53
  homeowners
• 2:54
  and
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  show
• 2:55
  goes
• 2:55
  across
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  country,
• 2:56
  but
• 2:56
  in
• 2:56
  our
• 2:56
  area
• 2:57
  here,
• 2:58
  as
• 2:58
  part
• 2:58
  of
• 2:59
  a
• 2:59
  real
• 2:59
  estate
• 2:59
  sale,
• 3:00
  you
• 3:00
  have
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  have
• 3:01
  radon
• 3:02
  testing
• 3:02
  as
• 3:03
  part
• 3:03
  of
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  closing
• 3:04
  process.
• 3:04
  So
• 3:05
  that
• 3:05
  is
• 3:05
  it,
• 3:05
  which
• 3:06
  is
• 3:06
  cool.
• 3:06
  But
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  problem
• 3:07
  is
• 3:08
  we
• 3:09
  don't
• 3:09
  really
• 3:10
  have
• 3:10
  a
• 3:10
  great
• 3:10
  industry
• 3:11
  here.
• 3:12
  Nobody
• 3:12
  knows
• 3:13
  if
• 3:13
  it's
• 3:13
  good.
• 3:14
  Nobody
• 3:14
  can
• 3:14
  give
• 3:15
  any
• 3:15
  promises
• 3:15
  if
• 3:15
  it's
• 3:16
  going
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  work.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  so
• 3:17
  homeowners,
• 3:17
  at
• 3:17
  least
• 3:17
  in
• 3:18
  my
• 3:18
  area,
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  this
• 3:18
  is
• 3:18
  where
• 3:18
  I,
• 3:19
  I
• 3:19
  think
• 3:19
  this
• 3:19
  came
• 3:19
  from,
• 3:20
  get
• 3:21
  very
• 3:21
  confused
• 3:21
  about
• 3:22
  what
• 3:22
  is
• 3:23
  radon,
• 3:24
  will
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  mitigation
• 3:25
  system
• 3:25
  work
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  how
• 3:26
  do
• 3:26
  you
• 3:26
  know
• 3:27
  if
• 3:27
  it's
• 3:27
  working?
• 3:28
  Mitigation
• 3:28
  systems
• 3:29
  do
• 3:29
  work
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  but
• 3:31
  they
• 3:31
  have
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  be
• 3:32
  verified
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  they're
• 3:33
  working
• 3:33
  and
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  can't
• 3:33
  just
• 3:34
  assume
• 3:34
  once
• 3:34
  they're
• 3:35
  installed
• 3:35
  they're
• 3:35
  going
• 3:35
  to
• 3:36
  work
• 3:36
  on
• 3:37
  and
• 3:37
  on
• 3:37
  year
• 3:37
  after
• 3:38
  year,
• 3:38
  part
• 3:39
  of
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  issue
• 3:39
  is,
• 3:40
  with
• 3:40
  a
• 3:40
  real
• 3:40
  estate
• 3:41
  transaction,
• 3:41
  we're
• 3:42
  limited
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  very
• 3:43
  short
• 3:43
  time
• 3:44
  window.
• 3:45
  The
• 3:45
  home
• 3:46
  inspector
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  the
• 3:47
  buyer
• 3:48
  has
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  certain
• 3:49
  period
• 3:50
  that
• 3:50
  they're
• 3:50
  allowed
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  inspect
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  house.
• 3:52
  And
• 3:53
  so
• 3:53
  the
• 3:54
  radon
• 3:54
  test
• 3:55
  is
• 3:55
  just
• 3:56
  for
• 3:56
  two
• 3:56
  or
• 3:56
  three
• 3:57
  days,
• 3:57
  typically.
• 3:58
  And
• 3:59
  while
• 4:00
  if
• 4:00
  it's
• 4:00
  done
• 4:01
  properly
• 4:01
  and
• 4:02
  it's
• 4:03
  done
• 4:03
  without
• 4:04
  any
• 4:04
  tampering
• 4:05
  or
• 4:05
  cheating
• 4:06
  on
• 4:06
  behalf
• 4:06
  of,
• 4:07
  say,
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  seller
• 4:07
  or
• 4:08
  an
• 4:08
  agent,
• 4:09
  then
• 4:09
  it.
• 4:10
  It
• 4:10
  can
• 4:10
  be
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  good
• 4:11
  test
• 4:11
  for
• 4:12
  that
• 4:12
  time
• 4:12
  period.
• 4:12
  But
• 4:12
  radon
• 4:13
  fluctuates
• 4:14
  from
• 4:15
  day
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  night,
• 4:16
  from
• 4:16
  season
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  season,
• 4:18
  and
• 4:19
  you're
• 4:20
  just
• 4:20
  getting
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  very
• 4:20
  short
• 4:22
  time
• 4:22
  window
• 4:23
  for
• 4:23
  that
• 4:23
  test.
• 4:24
  If
• 4:24
  it
• 4:24
  comes
• 4:24
  back
• 4:25
  elevated,
• 4:26
  then
• 4:26
  you
• 4:26
  can
• 4:27
  be
• 4:28
  reasonably
• 4:28
  assured
• 4:29
  that
• 4:30
  it's
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  wise
• 4:30
  move
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  go
• 4:31
  ahead
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  get
• 4:31
  it
• 4:32
  mitigated.
• 4:33
  But
• 4:33
  if
• 4:33
  it
• 4:33
  doesn't
• 4:34
  come
• 4:34
  back
• 4:34
  elevated,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  can't
• 4:36
  necessarily
• 4:38
  conclude
• 4:39
  that
• 4:40
  it
• 4:40
  isn't
• 4:41
  elevated
• 4:42
  other
• 4:42
  times
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  the
• 4:43
  year.
• 4:43
  It's
• 4:44
  good
• 4:44
  if
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  have
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  ability
• 4:45
  to.
• 4:46
  To
• 4:46
  monitor
• 4:47
  over
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  longer
• 4:48
  period.
• 4:49
  Makes
• 4:49
  sense.
• 4:50
  Makes
• 4:50
  sense.
• 4:50
  Cause,
• 4:51
  yeah,
• 4:51
  I
• 4:51
  popped
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  on
• 4:51
  real
• 4:52
  estate
• 4:52
  transactions
• 4:53
  when
• 4:53
  my
• 4:53
  house,
• 4:54
  when
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  was
• 4:55
  buying
• 4:55
  it
• 4:55
  back
• 4:55
  in
• 4:55
  2019,
• 4:56
  walked
• 4:57
  in,
• 4:57
  and
• 4:57
  I'm
• 4:57
  like,
• 4:58
  okay,
• 5:00
  this
• 5:00
  is
• 5:00
  not
• 5:00
  an
• 5:01
  exact
• 5:01
  science
• 5:01
  here.
• 5:02
  They
• 5:02
  had
• 5:02
  the.
• 5:02
  They
• 5:03
  had
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  bathroom
• 5:04
  fan
• 5:04
  had
• 5:04
  been
• 5:04
  left
• 5:05
  on
• 5:05
  accidentally,
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  think.
• 5:06
  I'm
• 5:06
  not
• 5:07
  putting
• 5:07
  anybody
• 5:07
  in
• 5:07
  there,
• 5:08
  but
• 5:08
  I'm
• 5:08
  like,
• 5:09
  okay,
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  could
• 5:10
  skew
• 5:10
  the
• 5:11
  test.
• 5:11
  So
• 5:11
  I
• 5:11
  turned
• 5:11
  it
• 5:12
  off.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  think
• 5:13
  about
• 5:13
  it,
• 5:13
  especially
• 5:13
  when
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  start
• 5:14
  getting
• 5:14
  into
• 5:15
  newer
• 5:16
  homes
• 5:16
  that
• 5:16
  have
• 5:17
  lots
• 5:18
  of
• 5:18
  ventilation
• 5:19
  or
• 5:20
  new
• 5:20
  homes
• 5:20
  that
• 5:20
  have
• 5:21
  ERVs,
• 5:21
  HRVs,
• 5:22
  all
• 5:22
  these
• 5:22
  different
• 5:23
  things
• 5:23
  that
• 5:23
  are
• 5:23
  moving
• 5:23
  air
• 5:24
  around.
• 5:24
  It
• 5:25
  can
• 5:25
  be
• 5:25
  doing
• 5:25
  things
• 5:26
  like
• 5:26
  sucking
• 5:27
  up,
• 5:27
  creating
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  vacuum
• 5:28
  inside
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  house,
• 5:29
  or
• 5:29
  putting
• 5:29
  a
• 5:30
  pressure,
• 5:30
  which
• 5:30
  could
• 5:30
  always
• 5:31
  change
• 5:31
  that,
• 5:31
  it
• 5:32
  seems.
• 5:32
  Yeah,
• 5:33
  it's
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  pressure
• 5:34
  relationship
• 5:35
  between
• 5:35
  the
• 5:36
  house
• 5:36
  and
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  soil
• 5:37
  that
• 5:38
  allows
• 5:39
  radon
• 5:39
  entry
• 5:40
  to
• 5:40
  begin
• 5:40
  with.
• 5:40
  Soil
• 5:41
  gases
• 5:41
  are
• 5:41
  typically
• 5:42
  drawn
• 5:43
  into
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  house
• 5:43
  because
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  air
• 5:44
  pressure
• 5:45
  inside
• 5:45
  is
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  little
• 5:46
  lower
• 5:46
  than
• 5:46
  it
• 5:47
  is
• 5:47
  in
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  ground.
• 5:48
  And
• 5:49
  so
• 5:49
  those
• 5:49
  gases
• 5:49
  are
• 5:50
  being
• 5:50
  sucked
• 5:50
  into
• 5:51
  any.
• 5:52
  Any
• 5:52
  crack
• 5:53
  or
• 5:53
  crevice
• 5:53
  or
• 5:54
  hole
• 5:54
  or
• 5:54
  whatever
• 5:55
  to
• 5:56
  up
• 5:57
  into
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  living
• 5:57
  space.
• 5:58
  And
• 5:59
  that's
• 5:59
  made
• 6:00
  worse
• 6:01
  at
• 6:01
  certain
• 6:01
  times
• 6:02
  of
• 6:02
  day,
• 6:03
  depending
• 6:03
  on
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  temperature
• 6:04
  outside
• 6:04
  versus
• 6:05
  inside.
• 6:06
  Certain
• 6:06
  times
• 6:06
  of
• 6:06
  year,
• 6:07
  depending
• 6:07
  on
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  same
• 6:08
  thing.
• 6:08
  Or
• 6:08
  we
• 6:08
  have
• 6:09
  warm
• 6:09
  weather,
• 6:09
  cold
• 6:10
  weather,
• 6:10
  what's
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  temperature
• 6:11
  difference
• 6:11
  between
• 6:12
  in
• 6:12
  and
• 6:12
  out?
• 6:13
  And
• 6:13
  then
• 6:14
  things
• 6:14
  like
• 6:14
  you
• 6:15
  mentioned
• 6:15
  exhaust
• 6:15
  fans.
• 6:17
  So
• 6:17
  there's
• 6:17
  this
• 6:17
  stack
• 6:18
  effect
• 6:18
  that
• 6:19
  is
• 6:20
  pulling
• 6:20
  air
• 6:21
  up
• 6:21
  from
• 6:22
  below
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  exhausting
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  where
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  can
• 6:25
  at
• 6:25
  the
• 6:26
  top.
• 6:26
  And
• 6:27
  all
• 6:27
  of
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  can
• 6:28
  pull
• 6:28
  soil
• 6:28
  gases
• 6:29
  in.
• 6:29
  With
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  mitigation
• 6:30
  system,
• 6:30
  what
• 6:30
  we're
• 6:30
  trying
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  do
• 6:31
  is
• 6:31
  reverse
• 6:33
  that
• 6:33
  airflow
• 6:35
  so
• 6:35
  they
• 6:35
  typically
• 6:36
  install
• 6:37
  what's
• 6:37
  called
• 6:38
  an
• 6:38
  active
• 6:38
  soil
• 6:39
  depressurization
• 6:40
  system.
• 6:41
  And
• 6:41
  they
• 6:42
  suck
• 6:43
  air
• 6:43
  from
• 6:44
  underneath
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  house
• 6:45
  with
• 6:45
  a
• 6:45
  pipe.
• 6:46
  It's
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  PVC
• 6:47
  pipe,
• 6:47
  typically,
• 6:47
  and
• 6:48
  an
• 6:48
  inline
• 6:49
  centrifugal
• 6:50
  fan.
• 6:51
  And
• 6:51
  it's
• 6:52
  pulling
• 6:52
  air
• 6:52
  out
• 6:53
  from
• 6:53
  underneath
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  building
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  creating
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  low
• 6:56
  pressure
• 6:57
  zone
• 6:58
  underneath
• 6:58
  the
• 6:59
  footprint.
• 7:00
  So
• 7:00
  that
• 7:00
  way,
• 7:01
  any
• 7:01
  cracks
• 7:02
  and
• 7:03
  openings
• 7:03
  that
• 7:04
  you
• 7:04
  can't
• 7:04
  see
• 7:05
  or
• 7:05
  get
• 7:05
  to
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  air
• 7:07
  is
• 7:07
  moving
• 7:08
  from
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  house
• 7:09
  down
• 7:10
  rather
• 7:10
  than
• 7:11
  from
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  ground
• 7:12
  in.
• 7:12
  And
• 7:13
  if
• 7:13
  you
• 7:13
  can
• 7:13
  maintain
• 7:14
  that,
• 7:15
  then
• 7:15
  you've
• 7:16
  got
• 7:16
  a
• 7:16
  good
• 7:17
  system.
• 7:17
  The
• 7:18
  part
• 7:18
  of
• 7:18
  the
• 7:19
  issue
• 7:19
  with
• 7:20
  just
• 7:20
  assuming
• 7:20
  that
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  mitigation
• 7:22
  system
• 7:22
  is
• 7:22
  working
• 7:23
  is
• 7:23
  let's
• 7:23
  say
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  have
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  test
• 7:25
  done
• 7:26
  in
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  spring
• 7:26
  or
• 7:26
  the
• 7:27
  fall
• 7:27
  when
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  weather's
• 7:27
  kind
• 7:28
  of
• 7:28
  mild
• 7:28
  and
• 7:29
  they,
• 7:30
  they
• 7:30
  come
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  do
• 7:31
  a
• 7:31
  mitigation,
• 7:32
  they
• 7:32
  put
• 7:32
  in
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  system,
• 7:33
  they
• 7:33
  do
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  short
• 7:34
  two
• 7:34
  or
• 7:35
  three
• 7:35
  day
• 7:35
  test
• 7:35
  after
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  installation,
• 7:37
  and
• 7:37
  it
• 7:37
  looks
• 7:37
  good
• 7:38
  for
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  time
• 7:38
  period.
• 7:39
  And
• 7:39
  that's
• 7:40
  because
• 7:40
  it's
• 7:40
  maintaining
• 7:41
  that
• 7:41
  lower
• 7:41
  pressure
• 7:42
  underneath
• 7:43
  during
• 7:43
  the
• 7:44
  time
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  test.
• 7:45
  But
• 7:46
  then
• 7:46
  let's
• 7:46
  say
• 7:47
  cold
• 7:47
  weather,
• 7:48
  winter
• 7:48
  comes
• 7:48
  along
• 7:49
  and
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  start
• 7:49
  to
• 7:50
  turn
• 7:50
  on
• 7:50
  the
• 7:51
  heat
• 7:51
  and
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  temperature
• 7:52
  between
• 7:53
  inside
• 7:53
  and
• 7:53
  out
• 7:54
  is
• 7:54
  greater,
• 7:55
  then
• 7:56
  perhaps
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  system
• 7:58
  can
• 7:58
  be
• 7:58
  overwhelmed
• 7:59
  by
• 8:00
  the,
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  stack
• 8:01
  effect
• 8:02
  in
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  house
• 8:02
  during
• 8:03
  that
• 8:03
  time
• 8:03
  of
• 8:03
  year.
• 8:04
  It
• 8:04
  may
• 8:05
  not
• 8:05
  be
• 8:05
  working
• 8:05
  so
• 8:06
  well.
• 8:06
  So
• 8:06
  it's
• 8:07
  really
• 8:07
  good
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  have
• 8:08
  the
• 8:09
  ability
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  continuously
• 8:10
  mon.
• 8:12
  And
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  great
• 8:13
  thing
• 8:13
  is
• 8:14
  today
• 8:14
  there
• 8:15
  are
• 8:16
  devices
• 8:16
  out
• 8:16
  there
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  are
• 8:17
  very
• 8:17
  sophisticated
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  affordable
• 8:20
  for
• 8:20
  homeowners
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  have
• 8:21
  that
• 8:21
  they
• 8:21
  can
• 8:21
  monitor
• 8:22
  their
• 8:22
  radon
• 8:23
  over
• 8:23
  time,
• 8:24
  either
• 8:25
  whether
• 8:25
  it's
• 8:25
  before
• 8:26
  they
• 8:27
  have
• 8:27
  mitigation
• 8:27
  to
• 8:28
  see
• 8:28
  whether
• 8:28
  they
• 8:28
  need
• 8:28
  to
• 8:29
  take
• 8:30
  action
• 8:30
  at
• 8:30
  all,
• 8:31
  or
• 8:31
  whether
• 8:31
  it's
• 8:32
  after
• 8:32
  mitigation
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  make
• 8:33
  sure
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  system
• 8:34
  is
• 8:34
  working.
• 8:35
  That
• 8:35
  makes
• 8:35
  sense.
• 8:36
  And
• 8:36
  that's
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  great
• 8:37
  idea
• 8:37
  because
• 8:38
  let's
• 8:38
  say
• 8:38
  you
• 8:38
  put
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  system
• 8:39
  in
• 8:39
  and
• 8:40
  something
• 8:40
  happens
• 8:41
  and
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  get
• 8:41
  a
• 8:42
  crack
• 8:43
  on
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  other
• 8:43
  side
• 8:44
  of
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  house
• 8:44
  from
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  mitigation
• 8:45
  system
• 8:45
  in
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  concrete
• 8:46
  floor.
• 8:46
  Let's
• 8:46
  say
• 8:47
  something
• 8:47
  happens,
• 8:47
  you
• 8:48
  get
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  crack,
• 8:48
  then
• 8:48
  all
• 8:48
  of
• 8:49
  a
• 8:49
  sudden
• 8:49
  maybe
• 8:50
  that's
• 8:50
  not
• 8:50
  pulling
• 8:51
  all
• 8:51
  the
• 8:51
  way
• 8:51
  over
• 8:51
  there
• 8:52
  because
• 8:52
  especially
• 8:53
  when
• 8:53
  things
• 8:53
  are
• 8:53
  retrofitted
• 8:54
  many
• 8:54
  times
• 8:55
  they,
• 8:55
  they
• 8:56
  didn't
• 8:56
  plan
• 8:56
  for
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  mitigation
• 8:57
  system.
• 8:58
  So
• 8:58
  there's
• 8:58
  at
• 8:59
  best
• 8:59
  some
• 8:59
  gravel,
• 9:00
  hopefully,
• 9:01
  and
• 9:01
  concrete.
• 9:02
  I've
• 9:02
  seen
• 9:02
  them
• 9:02
  pour
• 9:03
  it
• 9:03
  right
• 9:03
  on
• 9:03
  dirt
• 9:04
  and
• 9:05
  hard
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  create
• 9:06
  a
• 9:06
  vacuum
• 9:07
  when
• 9:07
  it's
• 9:07
  dirt
• 9:07
  on
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  concrete.
• 9:08
  Right.
• 9:09
  You
• 9:09
  have
• 9:09
  to
• 9:09
  be,
• 9:10
  you
• 9:10
  have
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  be
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  little
• 9:13
  more
• 9:14
  conscious
• 9:15
  of
• 9:15
  your,
• 9:16
  of
• 9:16
  how
• 9:16
  to
• 9:16
  create
• 9:17
  that
• 9:17
  vacuum
• 9:17
  when
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  don't
• 9:18
  have
• 9:18
  gravel.
• 9:19
  For
• 9:19
  example.
• 9:20
  I
• 9:21
  live
• 9:21
  in
• 9:22
  north
• 9:23
  Georgia
• 9:23
  in
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  north
• 9:24
  Atlanta
• 9:25
  area,
• 9:25
  and
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  lot
• 9:26
  of
• 9:26
  the
• 9:27
  older
• 9:27
  houses
• 9:28
  are
• 9:28
  built
• 9:28
  on
• 9:29
  red
• 9:29
  clay,
• 9:30
  same
• 9:30
  kind
• 9:31
  of
• 9:31
  thing.
• 9:31
  And
• 9:32
  it's
• 9:32
  not
• 9:32
  very
• 9:33
  susceptible
• 9:33
  to
• 9:34
  airflow
• 9:35
  unless
• 9:36
  you
• 9:36
  find
• 9:37
  where
• 9:37
  you
• 9:37
  can
• 9:37
  get
• 9:38
  airflow.
• 9:39
  For
• 9:39
  example,
• 9:40
  around
• 9:40
  the
• 9:40
  footings
• 9:41
  at
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  perimeter.
• 9:43
  They
• 9:44
  dug
• 9:44
  out
• 9:44
  and
• 9:44
  then
• 9:44
  they
• 9:45
  back
• 9:45
  filled
• 9:46
  to
• 9:46
  pour
• 9:47
  those
• 9:47
  footings.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:48
  oftentimes
• 9:49
  there'll
• 9:49
  be
• 9:49
  some
• 9:49
  settling
• 9:50
  underneath
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  slab
• 9:52
  over
• 9:53
  time.
• 9:53
  So
• 9:53
  then
• 9:54
  if
• 9:54
  you
• 9:54
  can
• 9:54
  put
• 9:54
  your
• 9:55
  suction
• 9:55
  points
• 9:55
  on
• 9:55
  those
• 9:57
  along
• 9:58
  those
• 9:58
  walls
• 9:59
  where
• 9:59
  you
• 9:59
  can
• 9:59
  take
• 10:00
  advantage
• 10:00
  of
• 10:00
  that
• 10:00
  airspace,
• 10:01
  then
• 10:02
  you
• 10:02
  can,
• 10:02
  you
• 10:03
  can
• 10:03
  extend
• 10:03
  that
• 10:03
  pressure
• 10:04
  field
• 10:04
  down
• 10:04
  to
• 10:05
  the
• 10:05
  opposite
• 10:05
  corners.
• 10:06
  Sometimes
• 10:07
  it
• 10:07
  takes
• 10:07
  multiple
• 10:07
  suction
• 10:08
  points
• 10:08
  in
• 10:09
  order
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  do
• 10:09
  that.
• 10:10
  Makes
• 10:10
  sense.
• 10:11
  If
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  were
• 10:11
  to,
• 10:11
  if
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  were
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  talk
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  people
• 10:13
  who
• 10:13
  tested
• 10:14
  during
• 10:14
  mitigation,
• 10:15
  I
• 10:16
  bet
• 10:16
  you
• 10:16
  could,
• 10:16
  or
• 10:17
  excuse
• 10:17
  me,
• 10:17
  tested
• 10:18
  during
• 10:18
  their
• 10:19
  real
• 10:20
  estate
• 10:20
  purchase,
• 10:21
  when
• 10:21
  they
• 10:21
  bought
• 10:21
  their
• 10:21
  home
• 10:22
  and
• 10:23
  they
• 10:23
  had
• 10:23
  a
• 10:23
  mitigation
• 10:24
  system
• 10:24
  put
• 10:24
  in.
• 10:25
  Or
• 10:25
  even
• 10:25
  if
• 10:26
  they
• 10:26
  didn't,
• 10:26
  they
• 10:26
  tested
• 10:27
  during
• 10:27
  that
• 10:27
  time,
• 10:28
  they
• 10:28
  tested
• 10:28
  after
• 10:28
  the
• 10:29
  mitigation.
• 10:30
  Things
• 10:30
  came
• 10:30
  back
• 10:31
  looking
• 10:31
  good
• 10:31
  for
• 10:32
  that
• 10:32
  two
• 10:32
  day
• 10:32
  test.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:33
  they
• 10:33
  forget
• 10:33
  about
• 10:34
  radon.
• 10:34
  Sure,
• 10:35
  I'm
• 10:35
  done
• 10:35
  with
• 10:35
  it.
• 10:36
  And
• 10:37
  it
• 10:37
  could
• 10:37
  be
• 10:37
  20
• 10:38
  years
• 10:38
  later
• 10:39
  and
• 10:39
  they
• 10:40
  still
• 10:40
  think
• 10:40
  everything's
• 10:41
  just
• 10:41
  fine.
• 10:42
  And
• 10:42
  like
• 10:42
  you
• 10:42
  mentioned,
• 10:43
  there's
• 10:43
  so
• 10:43
  many
• 10:43
  things
• 10:44
  that
• 10:44
  can
• 10:44
  cause
• 10:45
  changes
• 10:46
  in
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  structure.
• 10:47
  Earthquake
• 10:48
  activity.
• 10:48
  There's
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  huge
• 10:49
  one,
• 10:49
  right?
• 10:50
  Blasting.
• 10:50
  Oh
• 10:51
  yeah,
• 10:51
  blasting.
• 10:52
  Because
• 10:52
  there's
• 10:53
  construction
• 10:53
  going
• 10:54
  on
• 10:54
  nearby
• 10:54
  and
• 10:55
  they're
• 10:55
  doing
• 10:55
  blasting.
• 10:56
  Or
• 10:57
  you
• 10:57
  have
• 10:58
  extended
• 10:59
  period
• 10:59
  of
• 10:59
  unusual
• 11:00
  drought
• 11:01
  or
• 11:02
  you
• 11:02
  decide
• 11:03
  to
• 11:04
  put
• 11:04
  in
• 11:04
  a
• 11:04
  new
• 11:05
  heating
• 11:05
  and
• 11:05
  air
• 11:05
  conditioning
• 11:06
  system
• 11:07
  which
• 11:07
  can
• 11:07
  have
• 11:07
  an
• 11:08
  impact.
• 11:08
  Or
• 11:09
  you
• 11:10
  do
• 11:10
  some
• 11:10
  renovations.
• 11:11
  Yeah,
• 11:11
  some
• 11:11
  pumps
• 11:11
  in
• 11:11
  the
• 11:12
  basement
• 11:12
  can
• 11:12
  change
• 11:13
  things,
• 11:13
  right?
• 11:13
  Yeah.
• 11:14
  Or
• 11:14
  you
• 11:14
  have
• 11:14
  to
• 11:15
  dig
• 11:15
  out
• 11:16
  because
• 11:16
  of
• 11:17
  the,
• 11:17
  the
• 11:17
  plumbing
• 11:18
  coming
• 11:18
  in
• 11:19
  from
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  street
• 11:19
  is,
• 11:20
  is
• 11:20
  old
• 11:21
  and
• 11:21
  yet
• 11:21
  they
• 11:21
  have
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  replace
• 11:22
  it.
• 11:22
  So
• 11:22
  they
• 11:23
  trench
• 11:23
  and,
• 11:24
  and
• 11:24
  backfill
• 11:25
  and
• 11:25
  maybe
• 11:25
  there,
• 11:25
  now
• 11:26
  there's
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  new
• 11:26
  entryway.
• 11:27
  So
• 11:27
  all
• 11:28
  those
• 11:28
  things
• 11:28
  can
• 11:29
  cause
• 11:29
  changes
• 11:30
  and
• 11:30
  if
• 11:30
  you
• 11:30
  don't
• 11:30
  keep
• 11:30
  an
• 11:31
  eye
• 11:31
  on
• 11:31
  it,
• 11:31
  then
• 11:32
  you
• 11:32
  just
• 11:32
  never
• 11:33
  know.
• 11:34
  So
• 11:34
  really
• 11:34
  for
• 11:34
  most
• 11:35
  people
• 11:35
  it's
• 11:35
  just
• 11:35
  smart
• 11:36
  to,
• 11:36
  if
• 11:36
  you've
• 11:36
  got
• 11:37
  a
• 11:37
  system,
• 11:37
  make
• 11:37
  sure
• 11:37
  that
• 11:38
  you
• 11:38
  have
• 11:38
  somebody
• 11:38
  coming
• 11:38
  out
• 11:39
  to
• 11:39
  maintain
• 11:39
  it
• 11:40
  and
• 11:40
  take
• 11:40
  a
• 11:40
  look
• 11:41
  at
• 11:41
  it.
• 11:41
  But
• 11:41
  really
• 11:42
  self
• 11:42
  testing
• 11:43
  seems
• 11:43
  to
• 11:43
  be
• 11:43
  the
• 11:44
  way
• 11:44
  to,
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  have
• 11:45
  it
• 11:45
  safe.
• 11:46
  Is
• 11:46
  there
• 11:46
  really
• 11:47
  a
• 11:47
  safe
• 11:47
  radon
• 11:48
  level?
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  know
• 11:48
  there's,
• 11:49
  you
• 11:49
  should
• 11:49
  mitigate
• 11:50
  at
• 11:50
  this
• 11:50
  point.
• 11:51
  But
• 11:51
  is
• 11:52
  it
• 11:52
  like
• 11:52
  anything
• 11:52
  else
• 11:53
  that's
• 11:53
  bad?
• 11:53
  You
• 11:53
  probably
• 11:54
  shouldn't
• 11:54
  have
• 11:54
  any.
• 11:54
  If
• 11:54
  you
• 11:55
  can
• 11:55
  get
• 11:55
  away
• 11:55
  with
• 11:55
  it.
• 11:56
  It's
• 11:57
  difficult
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  not
• 11:58
  have
• 11:58
  any
• 11:58
  because
• 11:58
  there's
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  little
• 11:59
  background
• 12:00
  right.
• 12:00
  On
• 12:00
  concentration,
• 12:01
  even
• 12:01
  outside.
• 12:03
  The
• 12:03
  reason
• 12:03
  it's
• 12:04
  not
• 12:04
  harmful
• 12:05
  outside
• 12:05
  is
• 12:05
  because
• 12:06
  it
• 12:06
  comes
• 12:07
  out
• 12:07
  of
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  soil
• 12:07
  and
• 12:08
  dilutes
• 12:08
  into
• 12:08
  the
• 12:09
  atmosphere
• 12:10
  rapidly
• 12:10
  and
• 12:11
  we're
• 12:11
  not
• 12:11
  breathing
• 12:12
  much
• 12:12
  of
• 12:13
  that
• 12:13
  at
• 12:13
  all.
• 12:13
  But
• 12:14
  when
• 12:15
  it
• 12:15
  can
• 12:15
  get
• 12:15
  into
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  house,
• 12:16
  it
• 12:16
  can
• 12:16
  build
• 12:17
  up
• 12:17
  to
• 12:17
  a
• 12:17
  level
• 12:17
  that
• 12:18
  we're
• 12:18
  breathing.
• 12:18
  And
• 12:19
  it's
• 12:19
  been
• 12:19
  demonstrated
• 12:20
  over
• 12:20
  and
• 12:21
  over
• 12:21
  again
• 12:21
  with
• 12:22
  not
• 12:22
  just
• 12:22
  minor
• 12:23
  studies,
• 12:23
  but
• 12:24
  lots
• 12:24
  of
• 12:24
  residential
• 12:25
  studies,
• 12:25
  not
• 12:25
  just
• 12:25
  in
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  United
• 12:26
  States,
• 12:26
  but
• 12:27
  all
• 12:27
  over
• 12:27
  the
• 12:27
  world
• 12:28
  that
• 12:29
  it
• 12:29
  has
• 12:29
  a
• 12:30
  direct
• 12:30
  connection
• 12:31
  to
• 12:31
  increased
• 12:32
  risk
• 12:32
  of
• 12:32
  lung
• 12:33
  cancer.
• 12:34
  So
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  four
• 12:34
  picocurie
• 12:35
  per

  here
• 12:37
  in
• 12:37
  the
• 12:37
  United
• 12:37
  States
• 12:38
  was
• 12:39
  not
• 12:40
  set

  because

  it

  to
• 12:42
  be
• 12:42
  a
• 12:42
  safe
• 12:42
  point.
• 12:43
  It
• 12:44
  was
• 12:44
  years
• 12:45
  ago
• 12:45
  when
• 12:45
  they
• 12:46
  EPA
• 12:46
  set

  that

  it

  was

  considered

  to
• 12:48
  be

  an

  achievable
• 12:50
  concentration
• 12:51
  that
• 12:51
  our
• 12:51
  mitigation
• 12:52
  technology
• 12:52
  could
• 12:53
  consistently
• 12:54
  reduce
• 12:54
  levels
• 12:55
  to
• 12:55
  below
• 12:55
  4
• 12:56
  picocuries
• 12:57
  per
• 12:57
  liter.
• 12:58
  But
• 12:58
  they'll
• 12:58
  tell
• 12:59
  you
• 12:59
  when
• 12:59
  they
• 12:59
  look
• 12:59
  at
• 13:00
  the

  epidemiology
• 13:01

• 13:02
  that

  there's

  a

  of

  these

  that

  occur

  Any

  the

  EPA

  guidance

  carefully,

  it'll

  say

  if

  you

  test

  your

  the

  If

  it's

  4

  consider

  the

• 13:34
  Yeah.
• 13:35
  If
• 13:35
  you're
• 13:35
  a,
• 13:36
  if

  you're

  a

  you're

  the

  you

• 13:49
  at

  their

  expense.
• 13:51
  But
• 13:51
  you,
• 13:52
  you
• 13:52
  may
• 13:53
  really
• 13:53
  want
• 13:53
  to
• 13:53
  take
• 13:53
  a
• 13:54
  look
• 13:54
  at
• 13:54
  it
• 13:54
  over

  a
• 13:54
  longer
• 13:55
  period
• 13:55
  of
• 13:55
  time
• 13:55
  and
• 13:55
  see
• 13:56
  whether
• 13:56
  you
• 13:56
  want
• 13:56
  to
• 13:57
  go

  and

  the

  and
• 13:59
  well
• 13:59
  being
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  your
• 14:00
  family.
• 14:00
  Yeah,
• 14:01
  good
• 14:01
  point.
• 14:01
  Good
• 14:02
  point.
• 14:02
  Because
• 14:02
  really
• 14:02
  that
• 14:03
  should
• 14:03
  be
• 14:03
  your.
• 14:03
  Probably
• 14:03
  your
• 14:04
  next
• 14:04
  renovation
• 14:05
  on
• 14:05
  your
• 14:05
  brand
• 14:05
  new
• 14:05
  house
• 14:06
  is
• 14:06
  just
• 14:06
  making
• 14:06
  sure
• 14:07
  that
• 14:07
  it's
• 14:07
  safe
• 14:07
  because.
• 14:08
  Yeah,
• 14:09
  absolutely.
• 14:10
  And
• 14:10
  in
• 14:10
  my
• 14:11
  area
• 14:11
  here
• 14:11
  in,
• 14:11
  across
• 14:12
  the
• 14:12
  country,
• 14:12
  it's
• 14:12
  always
• 14:13
  interesting
• 14:13
  when
• 14:13
  I
• 14:13
  watch
• 14:14
  some
• 14:14
  of
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  maps
• 14:14
  out
• 14:15
  there
• 14:15
  and
• 14:15
  I'm
• 14:15
  not
• 14:15
  going
• 14:15
  to
• 14:16
  name
• 14:16
  any
• 14:16
  ones,
• 14:16
  but
• 14:16
  I
• 14:17
  see
• 14:17
  ones
• 14:17
  that
• 14:17
  are,
• 14:18
  this
• 14:18
  is
• 14:18
  red,
• 14:18
  this
• 14:19
  is
• 14:19
  orange,
• 14:19
  this
• 14:19
  is
• 14:19
  yellow.
• 14:20
  And
• 14:20
  in
• 14:21
  my
• 14:21
  area
• 14:21
  I'm
• 14:21
  between
• 14:22
  the
• 14:23
  orange
• 14:24
  and
• 14:24
  red
• 14:25
  depending.
• 14:25
  And
• 14:25
  it's
• 14:25
  county
• 14:26
  by
• 14:26
  county,
• 14:26
  which
• 14:27
  it
• 14:27
  doesn't
• 14:28
  really
• 14:28
  tell
• 14:28
  you
• 14:28
  much,
• 14:29
  but
• 14:29
  at
• 14:29
  least
• 14:29
  it
• 14:30
  says,
• 14:30
  hey,
• 14:30
  you
• 14:30
  should
• 14:31
  be
• 14:31
  testing
• 14:31
  in
• 14:31
  this
• 14:31
  area.
• 14:32
  But
• 14:32
  really
• 14:33
  everywhere
• 14:34
  you
• 14:34
  run
• 14:34
  a
• 14:34
  risks,
• 14:34
  don't
• 14:35
  you?
• 14:35
  At
• 14:35
  least
• 14:35
  that's
• 14:36
  my
• 14:36
  opinion.
• 14:36
  I'm
• 14:36
  curious
• 14:36
  to
• 14:37
  see
• 14:37
  what
• 14:37
  your
• 14:37
  professional
• 14:38
  opinion
• 14:38
  is.
• 14:38
  Yeah,
• 14:38
  that's
• 14:39
  a
• 14:39
  good
• 14:39
  point,
• 14:39
  Eric.
• 14:40
  The
• 14:40
  EPA
• 14:41
  zone
• 14:41
  map,
• 14:41
  for
• 14:42
  example,
• 14:42
  came
• 14:42
  out
• 14:43
  in
• 14:43
  1992
• 14:45
  and
• 14:45
  it's
• 14:45
  still
• 14:45
  out
• 14:46
  there.
• 14:46
  For
• 14:46
  everybody
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  look
• 14:47
  at.
• 14:48
  Unfortunately,
• 14:48
  they
• 14:49
  didn't
• 14:49
  have
• 14:49
  a
• 14:49
  lot
• 14:49
  of
• 14:49
  radon
• 14:50
  test
• 14:50
  data
• 14:50
  at
• 14:50
  the
• 14:51
  time.
• 14:51
  So
• 14:52
  they
• 14:52
  used
• 14:52
  an
• 14:52
  algorithm
• 14:53
  that
• 14:53
  included
• 14:55
  a
• 14:55
  lot
• 14:55
  of
• 14:56
  factors,
• 14:56
  not
• 14:56
  just
• 14:57
  radon
• 14:57
  data.
• 14:58
  It
• 14:58
  included
• 14:59
  housing
• 15:00
  types.
• 15:00
  It
• 15:00
  included
• 15:01
  aerial
• 15:02
  radiation
• 15:03
  mapping,
• 15:04
  like
• 15:04
  the
• 15:04
  military
• 15:05
  does
• 15:05
  when
• 15:05
  they
• 15:06
  just
• 15:06
  fly
• 15:06
  over
• 15:06
  and
• 15:07
  measure
• 15:07
  the
• 15:07
  radiation
• 15:08
  coming
• 15:08
  off
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  ground.
• 15:10
  It
• 15:10
  included
• 15:11
  multiple
• 15:11
  factors
• 15:12
  that
• 15:12
  they
• 15:13
  put
• 15:13
  into
• 15:13
  this
• 15:13
  formula
• 15:14
  to
• 15:15
  help
• 15:15
  predict
• 15:16
  where
• 15:17
  it
• 15:18
  would
• 15:18
  be
• 15:19
  most
• 15:19
  likely
• 15:20
  to
• 15:20
  have
• 15:21
  elevated
• 15:21
  radon
• 15:22
  concentrations
• 15:23
  over
• 15:23
  time.
• 15:24
  Now
• 15:24
  that
• 15:24
  we
• 15:24
  have
• 15:25
  so
• 15:25
  much
• 15:25
  more
• 15:25
  radon
• 15:26
  data
• 15:26
  than
• 15:26
  they
• 15:26
  did
• 15:26
  in
• 15:27
  1992,
• 15:27
  we've
• 15:28
  discovered
• 15:28
  that
• 15:29
  they
• 15:29
  did
• 15:29
  a
• 15:30
  reasonable
• 15:30
  job
• 15:31
  with
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  information
• 15:31
  they
• 15:32
  had.
• 15:32
  But
• 15:33
  there
• 15:33
  are
• 15:33
  exceptions.
• 15:34
  And
• 15:35
  even
• 15:36
  if.
• 15:36
  Even
• 15:37
  with
• 15:37
  that
• 15:37
  map,
• 15:38
  if
• 15:38
  you
• 15:38
  look
• 15:38
  at
• 15:38
  the
• 15:39
  fine
• 15:39
  print
• 15:39
  at
• 15:39
  the
• 15:39
  bottom,
• 15:40
  it
• 15:40
  says
• 15:41
  that
• 15:41
  the
• 15:41
  map
• 15:42
  was
• 15:42
  not
• 15:42
  intended
• 15:43
  for
• 15:44
  you
• 15:44
  to
• 15:44
  decide
• 15:45
  whether
• 15:45
  or
• 15:45
  not
• 15:46
  you
• 15:46
  should
• 15:46
  test.
• 15:47
  It
• 15:47
  was
• 15:48
  intended
• 15:48
  to
• 15:49
  help
• 15:50
  focus
• 15:50
  resources
• 15:51
  to
• 15:51
  the
• 15:51
  areas
• 15:52
  of
• 15:53
  most
• 15:53
  concern
• 15:54
  first
• 15:55
  and
• 15:56
  then
• 15:56
  work
• 15:56
  their
• 15:56
  way
• 15:57
  down.
• 15:57
  One
• 15:57
  of
• 15:58
  the
• 15:58
  things
• 15:58
  that's
• 15:58
  happened
• 15:59
  in
• 15:59
  recent
• 15:59
  years,
• 16:00
  Starting
• 16:00
  in
• 16:00
  around
• 16:01
  2018,
• 16:03
  housing
• 16:03
  and
• 16:03
  urban
• 16:04
  development
• 16:04
  and
• 16:05
  began
• 16:06
  to
• 16:06
  require
• 16:06
  radon
• 16:07
  testing
• 16:07
  in
• 16:08
  multifamily
• 16:09
  properties
• 16:10
  that
• 16:10
  were
• 16:10
  being
• 16:11
  financed
• 16:12
  through
• 16:13
  FHA
• 16:15
  mortgage
• 16:15
  program.
• 16:16
  And
• 16:18
  they
• 16:18
  did
• 16:19
  away
• 16:19
  with
• 16:19
  the
• 16:19
  zone
• 16:20
  map
• 16:21
  distinctions
• 16:21
  and
• 16:22
  said,
• 16:22
  okay,
• 16:22
  we
• 16:22
  need
• 16:23
  to
• 16:23
  do
• 16:23
  this
• 16:23
  anywhere,
• 16:24
  because
• 16:24
  an
• 16:25
  elevated
• 16:25
  concentration
• 16:26
  could
• 16:26
  show
• 16:26
  up.
• 16:27
  And
• 16:27
  there
• 16:27
  are
• 16:28
  states
• 16:28
  that,
• 16:28
  if
• 16:28
  you
• 16:29
  look
• 16:29
  at
• 16:29
  that
• 16:29
  map,
• 16:30
  are
• 16:31
  not
• 16:31
  red
• 16:32
  and
• 16:32
  orange,
• 16:32
  they're
• 16:33
  more
• 16:33
  of
• 16:33
  that
• 16:33
  yellow
• 16:34
  area
• 16:34
  like
• 16:34
  Texas
• 16:35
  and
• 16:35
  California.
• 16:36
  And
• 16:37
  yet
• 16:37
  now
• 16:38
  they've
• 16:38
  been
• 16:38
  testing
• 16:38
  these
• 16:39
  multifamily
• 16:40
  projects,
• 16:40
  and
• 16:41
  guess
• 16:41
  what?
• 16:42
  They're
• 16:42
  finding
• 16:42
  radon
• 16:43
  in
• 16:43
  Texas
• 16:44
  and
• 16:44
  California.
• 16:45
  It's
• 16:45
  real
• 16:45
  easy
• 16:46
  to
• 16:46
  say
• 16:46
  there's
• 16:46
  no
• 16:46
  radon
• 16:47
  in
• 16:47
  certain
• 16:47
  areas
• 16:48
  when
• 16:48
  there
• 16:48
  are
• 16:48
  no
• 16:48
  tests
• 16:49
  going
• 16:49
  on.
• 16:50
  Once
• 16:50
  you
• 16:50
  start
• 16:50
  testing,
• 16:51
  you
• 16:51
  find
• 16:52
  buildings
• 16:53
  and
• 16:54
  residences
• 16:54
  that
• 16:54
  are
• 16:55
  elevated.
• 16:56
  The
• 16:56
  only
• 16:56
  way
• 16:57
  to
• 16:57
  know
• 16:57
  is
• 16:57
  to
• 16:58
  test.
• 16:58
  Yeah.
• 16:59
  Just
• 16:59
  a
• 17:00
  year
• 17:00
  ago
• 17:00
  here
• 17:01
  in
• 17:01
  my
• 17:01
  metro
• 17:02
  area,
• 17:02
  here
• 17:03
  in.
• 17:03
  In
• 17:03
  the
• 17:03
  Portland
• 17:04
  metro
• 17:04
  area,
• 17:04
  we
• 17:04
  had
• 17:05
  a
• 17:05
  fire
• 17:05
  department
• 17:06
  that
• 17:06
  had
• 17:06
  to
• 17:06
  close
• 17:06
  because
• 17:07
  of
• 17:07
  extreme
• 17:08
  radon.
• 17:09
  That
• 17:09
  was
• 17:10
  in
• 17:10
  the
• 17:10
  fire
• 17:10
  department
• 17:11
  because
• 17:11
  they
• 17:11
  tested
• 17:12
  it.
• 17:12
  Yeah.
• 17:12
  And
• 17:13
  there
• 17:14
  have
• 17:14
  been.
• 17:14
  There
• 17:14
  was
• 17:14
  a
• 17:15
  prison
• 17:15
  up
• 17:15
  in
• 17:15
  the
• 17:15
  northeast
• 17:16
  that
• 17:16
  they
• 17:16
  discovered
• 17:17
  that
• 17:17
  all
• 17:18
  the
• 17:18
  inmates
• 17:18
  were
• 17:19
  on
• 17:19
  the
• 17:19
  ground
• 17:20
  level
• 17:20
  were
• 17:20
  getting
• 17:21
  exposed
• 17:21
  to
• 17:21
  some
• 17:21
  very
• 17:22
  high
• 17:22
  concentrations
• 17:23
  of
• 17:23
  radon.
• 17:24
  So
• 17:24
  the
• 17:25
  more
• 17:25
  you
• 17:25
  look
• 17:25
  for
• 17:25
  it,
• 17:25
  the
• 17:26
  more
• 17:26
  you're
• 17:26
  going
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  find
• 17:27
  the
• 17:28
  good
• 17:28
  news
• 17:28
  is
• 17:29
  it's
• 17:30
  easy
• 17:30
  and
• 17:31
  for
• 17:31
  the
• 17:31
  most
• 17:31
  part,
• 17:32
  and
• 17:32
  fairly
• 17:32
  inexpensive
• 17:33
  to
• 17:34
  mitigate.
• 17:35
  And
• 17:36
  as
• 17:36
  long
• 17:36
  as
• 17:36
  you
• 17:36
  mitigate
• 17:37
  and
• 17:37
  then
• 17:37
  keep
• 17:37
  an
• 17:37
  eye
• 17:38
  on
• 17:38
  that
• 17:38
  mitigation
• 17:38
  to
• 17:39
  make
• 17:39
  sure
• 17:39
  it
• 17:39
  continues
• 17:39
  to
• 17:40
  work,
• 17:41
  then
• 17:41
  that's
• 17:41
  one
• 17:43
  of
• 17:43
  the
• 17:44
  health
• 17:44
  concerns
• 17:44
  that
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  just
• 17:45
  don't
• 17:46
  need
• 17:46
  to
• 17:46
  worry
• 17:46
  about
• 17:47
  anymore.
• 17:47
  You've
• 17:47
  got
• 17:47
  it
• 17:48
  under
• 17:48
  control,
• 17:48
  and
• 17:48
  you're
• 17:48
  keeping
• 17:49
  an
• 17:49
  eye
• 17:49
  on
• 17:49
  it.
• 17:50
  In
• 17:50
  some
• 17:50
  areas
• 17:51
  of
• 17:51
  the
• 17:51
  country,
• 17:52
  it
• 17:52
  could
• 17:53
  be
• 17:53
  that
• 17:53
  way.
• 17:53
  Perhaps
• 17:54
  in
• 17:54
  Oregon.
• 17:55
  I
• 17:55
  know
• 17:55
  it's
• 17:55
  that
• 17:55
  way.
• 17:55
  Here
• 17:56
  in
• 17:56
  the
• 17:57
  Southeast,
• 17:58
  we've
• 17:58
  got
• 17:59
  a
• 17:59
  humid
• 18:00
  climate
• 18:01
  in
• 18:01
  the
• 18:02
  summer,
• 18:03
  for
• 18:03
  example,
• 18:04
  and
• 18:06
  a
• 18:06
  lot
• 18:06
  of
• 18:07
  lower
• 18:07
  levels.
• 18:07
  Whether
• 18:08
  it's
• 18:08
  a
• 18:09
  basement
• 18:09
  or
• 18:09
  over
• 18:10
  a
• 18:10
  crawl
• 18:10
  space
• 18:11
  or
• 18:11
  even
• 18:12
  slab
• 18:12
  on
• 18:12
  grade,
• 18:13
  you're
• 18:13
  getting
• 18:14
  moisture
• 18:14
  coming
• 18:14
  in
• 18:15
  from
• 18:15
  the
• 18:15
  soil
• 18:15
  as
• 18:16
  well.
• 18:16
  And
• 18:17
  that
• 18:17
  can
• 18:17
  contribute
• 18:17
  to
• 18:18
  that
• 18:18
  indoor
• 18:19
  humidity.
• 18:20
  And
• 18:20
  the
• 18:20
  soil
• 18:21
  depressurization
• 18:22
  systems
• 18:23
  not
• 18:23
  only
• 18:23
  can
• 18:23
  keep
• 18:24
  the
• 18:24
  radon
• 18:24
  from
• 18:25
  entering,
• 18:25
  they'll
• 18:25
  keep
• 18:26
  that
• 18:26
  moisture
• 18:26
  and
• 18:26
  other
• 18:27
  soil
• 18:27
  gases
• 18:28
  from
• 18:29
  entering
• 18:29
  the
• 18:29
  home.
• 18:30
  The
• 18:30
  technology
• 18:31
  that
• 18:31
  we
• 18:31
  use
• 18:32
  for
• 18:32
  radon
• 18:32
  mitigation
• 18:33
  is
• 18:34
  being
• 18:34
  used
• 18:35
  all
• 18:36
  over
• 18:36
  the
• 18:36
  country
• 18:36
  now,
• 18:37
  actually
• 18:37
  all
• 18:38
  over
• 18:38
  the
• 18:38
  world
• 18:38
  for
• 18:39
  vapor
• 18:39
  intrusion
• 18:40
  mitigation
• 18:41
  for
• 18:41
  chemical
• 18:42
  vapors.
• 18:43
  It's
• 18:43
  the
• 18:43
  same
• 18:44
  exact
• 18:44
  technology.
• 18:45
  They're
• 18:46
  putting
• 18:46
  it
• 18:46
  in
• 18:47
  large
• 18:47
  buildings
• 18:48
  from
• 18:48
  the
• 18:48
  very
• 18:48
  beginning
• 18:49
  when
• 18:49
  they
• 18:49
  built
• 18:50
  construct
• 18:50
  them
• 18:50
  on
• 18:50
  these
• 18:51
  sites
• 18:51
  that
• 18:51
  were.
• 18:52
  Perhaps
• 18:52
  they
• 18:53
  were
• 18:53
  gas
• 18:53
  stations
• 18:54
  at
• 18:54
  one.
• 18:54
  Time
• 18:55
  or
• 18:55
  they
• 18:55
  were.
• 18:55
  They
• 18:56
  manufactured
• 18:57
  various
• 18:58
  things.
• 18:58
  Just
• 18:59
  right
• 18:59
  up
• 18:59
  from
• 19:00
  me,
• 19:00
  there's
• 19:00
  an
• 19:01
  old
• 19:01
  General
• 19:02
  Motors
• 19:02
  assembly
• 19:03
  plant
• 19:03
  that
• 19:04
  sat
• 19:05
  empty
• 19:05
  for
• 19:05
  a
• 19:05
  long
• 19:05
  time
• 19:06
  because
• 19:06
  they
• 19:06
  didn't
• 19:06
  know
• 19:06
  they
• 19:07
  could
• 19:07
  build
• 19:07
  anything
• 19:07
  on
• 19:08
  it
• 19:08
  because
• 19:08
  it
• 19:09
  was
• 19:09
  such
• 19:09
  a
• 19:09
  contaminated
• 19:10
  site.
• 19:10
  They
• 19:10
  finally
• 19:11
  cleared
• 19:11
  everything
• 19:11
  off
• 19:12
  and
• 19:12
  they
• 19:13
  installed
• 19:13
  the
• 19:14
  soil
• 19:14
  depressurization
• 19:15
  systems
• 19:15
  in
• 19:16
  all
• 19:16
  the
• 19:16
  buildings
• 19:17
  to
• 19:17
  prevent
• 19:17
  vapors
• 19:18
  from
• 19:18
  coming
• 19:18
  in.
• 19:19
  And
• 19:19
  now
• 19:19
  it's
• 19:20
  become
• 19:20
  a
• 19:21
  large
• 19:21
  movie
• 19:22
  studio
• 19:22
  set.
• 19:23
  All
• 19:23
  right,
• 19:23
  I
• 19:23
  know
• 19:24
  which
• 19:24
  one
• 19:24
  you're
• 19:24
  talking
• 19:24
  about.
• 19:25
  Yeah,
• 19:25
  very
• 19:26
  cool.
• 19:26
  And
• 19:27
  that's
• 19:27
  amazing.
• 19:27
  And
• 19:28
  I'm
• 19:28
  seeing
• 19:28
  that
• 19:28
  more.
• 19:29
  And
• 19:29
  I
• 19:29
  wish
• 19:30
  we
• 19:30
  could
• 19:30
  get
• 19:30
  the
• 19:31
  new
• 19:31
  construction
• 19:32
  building
• 19:32
  community
• 19:33
  out
• 19:33
  there
• 19:34
  to
• 19:34
  think
• 19:34
  about
• 19:35
  prepping
• 19:35
  the
• 19:35
  ground
• 19:36
  before
• 19:36
  they
• 19:37
  pour
• 19:37
  that
• 19:37
  slab
• 19:38
  on
• 19:38
  grade.
• 19:38
  I
• 19:38
  watch
• 19:39
  in
• 19:39
  Phoenix,
• 19:39
  for
• 19:39
  instance,
• 19:40
  I
• 19:40
  had
• 19:40
  a
• 19:40
  buddy
• 19:40
  that
• 19:41
  I
• 19:41
  worked
• 19:41
  with
• 19:41
  in
• 19:42
  the
• 19:42
  radio
• 19:42
  industry.
• 19:43
  He
• 19:43
  built
• 19:43
  a
• 19:43
  house
• 19:44
  down
• 19:44
  there.
• 19:45
  And
• 19:45
  he's
• 19:46
  up,
• 19:46
  concrete's
• 19:47
  pouring
• 19:47
  and
• 19:47
  the
• 19:47
  truck's
• 19:48
  there,
• 19:48
  and
• 19:48
  they're
• 19:48
  pouring
• 19:49
  right
• 19:49
  over
• 19:49
  the
• 19:49
  top
• 19:50
  of
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50
  desert
• 19:51
  earth.
• 19:51
  And
• 19:51
  it's
• 19:52
  just
• 19:52
  what
• 19:52
  they
• 19:52
  do
• 19:53
  there.
• 19:53
  That
• 19:53
  is
• 19:53
  the
• 19:54
  common
• 19:54
  practice.
• 19:55
  But
• 19:55
  in
• 19:55
  my
• 19:55
  head
• 19:56
  I'm
• 19:56
  going,
• 19:57
  that's
• 19:57
  gonna
• 19:57
  be
• 19:57
  pretty
• 19:57
  tough
• 19:58
  to
• 19:58
  mitigate
• 19:58
  that
• 19:59
  because
• 19:59
  it's
• 19:59
  a
• 19:59
  slab
• 20:00
  on
• 20:00
  grade
• 20:01
  and
• 20:02
  just
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  monopour.
• 20:03
  And
• 20:03
  I'm
• 20:03
  like,
• 20:04
  that's
• 20:04
  really
• 20:04
  not
• 20:04
  gonna.
• 21:49
  Really
• 21:49
  not
• 21:49
  going
• 21:50
  to
• 21:50
  give
• 21:50
  you
• 21:50
  a
• 21:50
  lot
• 21:50
  of
• 21:50
  options
• 21:51
  if
• 21:51
  you
• 21:51
  had
• 21:51
  an
• 21:52
  issue
• 21:52
  down
• 21:52
  the
• 20:08
  road.
• 21:53
  There
• 21:53
  was,
• 21:53
  there
• 21:54
  were.
• 21:54
  There
• 21:54
  was
• 21:54
  a
• 21:54
  time
• 21:55
  when
• 21:55
  we
• 21:55
  thought
• 21:56
  that
• 21:56
  the
• 21:56
  best
• 21:56
  thing
• 21:56
  to
• 21:57
  do
• 21:57
  was
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  put
• 21:57
  gravel
• 21:58
  underneath
• 21:58
  the
• 21:58
  slab.
• 21:59
  And
• 21:59
  that's
• 21:59
  still
• 21:59
  a
• 22:00
  great
• 22:00
  idea.
• 22:00
  And
• 22:01
  to
• 22:01
  make
• 22:01
  sure
• 22:01
  that
• 22:01
  you've
• 22:02
  got
• 22:02
  some
• 22:02
  connection
• 22:03
  between
• 22:03
  any
• 22:03
  footings
• 22:04
  from
• 22:04
  one
• 22:05
  section
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  the
• 22:05
  next
• 22:06
  where
• 22:06
  you
• 22:06
  can
• 22:06
  draw
• 22:07
  air
• 22:07
  across
• 22:08
  the
• 22:09
  footprint
• 22:10
  with
• 22:10
  your
• 22:10
  suction.
• 22:11
  There
• 22:11
  are
• 22:11
  sites
• 22:12
  where
• 22:12
  they're
• 22:12
  putting
• 22:13
  these
• 22:13
  systems
• 22:13
  in
• 22:14
  and
• 22:14
  then
• 22:15
  they're
• 22:15
  testing
• 22:16
  the
• 22:16
  building
• 22:16
  after.
• 22:17
  And
• 22:18
  if
• 22:18
  they
• 22:18
  need
• 22:19
  to,
• 22:19
  then
• 22:19
  they
• 22:19
  activate
• 22:20
  the
• 22:20
  systems
• 22:20
  by
• 22:21
  putting
• 22:21
  in
• 22:21
  line
• 22:21
  fans
• 22:22
  and
• 22:22
  all
• 22:22
  that's
• 22:23
  good.
• 22:23
  But
• 22:23
  they
• 22:24
  also
• 22:24
  have
• 22:26
  a
• 22:26
  vapor
• 22:27
  matting
• 22:28
  which
• 22:28
  is
• 22:30
  sandwiched
• 22:31
  together
• 22:31
  where
• 22:31
  it
• 22:31
  allows
• 22:32
  air
• 22:33
  to
• 22:33
  be
• 22:33
  drawn
• 22:34
  through
• 22:34
  it.
• 22:34
  And
• 22:34
  they
• 22:34
  can
• 22:34
  put
• 22:34
  that
• 22:35
  down
• 22:35
  as
• 22:35
  well
• 22:36
  in
• 22:36
  areas
• 22:36
  where
• 22:37
  perhaps
• 22:37
  gravel
• 22:37
  isn't
• 22:38
  as
• 22:38
  readily
• 22:39
  available
• 22:39
  and
• 22:40
  they
• 22:40
  can
• 22:40
  roll
• 22:41
  this
• 22:41
  out
• 22:41
  and
• 22:41
  do
• 22:42
  the
• 22:42
  same
• 22:42
  sort
• 22:42
  of
• 22:42
  thing.
• 22:43
  It's
• 22:44
  all
• 22:44
  very
• 22:45
  doable.
• 22:47
  And
• 22:47
  you're
• 22:48
  right,
• 22:48
  it's
• 22:48
  frustrating
• 22:49
  sometimes
• 22:49
  that
• 22:50
  it's
• 22:50
  just
• 22:50
  not
• 22:51
  a
• 22:51
  matter
• 22:51
  of
• 22:51
  practice
• 22:52
  everywhere
• 22:53
  but
• 22:53
  the
• 22:54
  building
• 22:54
  codes.
• 22:55
  I
• 22:55
  was
• 22:55
  the
• 22:55
  executive
• 22:56
  director
• 22:56
  of
• 22:57
  the
• 22:57
  American
• 22:58
  association
• 22:58
  of
• 22:59
  Radon
• 22:59
  Scientists
• 22:59
  and
• 23:00
  Technologists
• 23:01
  for
• 23:02
  a
• 23:02
  number
• 23:02
  of
• 23:02
  years
• 23:02
  and,
• 23:03
  and
• 23:03
  we
• 23:03
  were
• 23:03
  really
• 23:04
  working,
• 23:05
  trying
• 23:05
  to
• 23:05
  get
• 23:05
  the
• 23:05
  building
• 23:06
  codes
• 23:07
  updated
• 23:08
  and
• 23:08
  accepted
• 23:09
  across
• 23:10
  the
• 23:11
  country
• 23:11
  to
• 23:12
  include
• 23:12
  this
• 23:12
  kind
• 23:13
  of
• 23:13
  process.
• 23:14
  But
• 23:14
  it's
• 23:14
  a
• 23:15
  slow
• 23:15
  process.
• 23:16
  You
• 23:16
  get
• 23:16
  little
• 23:16
  wins
• 23:17
  and.
• 23:17
  Yep.
• 23:18
  And.
• 23:18
  And
• 23:18
  you're
• 23:19
  grateful
• 23:19
  for
• 23:19
  when
• 23:19
  you
• 23:20
  get
• 23:20
  a
• 23:20
  win.
• 23:21
  So
• 23:21
  it's.
• 23:22
  Now
• 23:22
  there
• 23:23
  is
• 23:23
  an
• 23:23
  opportunity,
• 23:24
  but
• 23:24
  it's
• 23:24
  not
• 23:25
  a
• 23:25
  requirement.
• 23:26
  That's
• 23:26
  the
• 23:26
  problem.
• 23:27
  Would
• 23:27
  it
• 23:27
  be
• 23:27
  as
• 23:28
  simple
• 23:28
  as
• 23:28
  just
• 23:28
  putting
• 23:29
  in
• 23:29
  a
• 23:29
  massive
• 23:30
  glued
• 23:31
  together
• 23:31
  sheet
• 23:32
  of
• 23:32
  vapor
• 23:32
  barrier
• 23:33
  that
• 23:33
  would
• 23:33
  not
• 23:34
  allow
• 23:34
  that
• 23:34
  through
• 23:35
  underneath
• 23:35
  it?
• 23:36
  That
• 23:36
  was
• 23:36
  tried
• 23:37
  actually
• 23:37
  years
• 23:37
  ago.
• 23:38
  And
• 23:38
  the
• 23:38
  problem
• 23:38
  is
• 23:39
  I
• 23:39
  tried
• 23:40
  to
• 23:40
  put
• 23:40
  that
• 23:40
  in
• 23:40
  and
• 23:41
  then
• 23:41
  you
• 23:41
  have
• 23:42
  the
• 23:42
  workers
• 23:42
  there
• 23:43
  putting
• 23:43
  their.
• 23:44
  Walking
• 23:44
  across
• 23:45
  the
• 23:45
  bar
• 23:46
  and
• 23:46
  they're
• 23:46
  walking
• 23:46
  across
• 23:47
  it
• 23:47
  and
• 23:48
  all
• 23:48
  the
• 23:48
  things
• 23:48
  they
• 23:48
  do.
• 23:49
  You
• 23:49
  just
• 23:49
  can't
• 23:50
  keep
• 23:50
  them
• 23:50
  barrier,
• 23:51
  try
• 23:52
  as
• 23:52
  you
• 23:52
  may.
• 23:53
  It
• 23:53
  sounds
• 23:53
  good
• 23:53
  on
• 23:54
  paper,
• 23:54
  but
• 23:54
  reads
• 23:55
  well
• 23:55
  on
• 23:55
  paper.
• 23:56
  Sounds
• 23:56
  good
• 23:56
  in
• 23:56
  conversation,
• 23:57
  but
• 23:57
  it
• 23:57
  just
• 23:57
  doesn't
• 23:58
  work
• 23:58
  in
• 23:58
  practice.
• 23:59
  Yeah,
• 23:59
  that
• 24:00
  makes
• 24:00
  sense.
• 24:00
  I
• 24:00
  want
• 24:00
  to
• 24:01
  shift
• 24:01
  over
• 24:01
  because
• 24:01
  I've
• 24:02
  seen
• 24:02
  this
• 24:02
  happen.
• 24:02
  I
• 24:02
  want
• 24:03
  to.
• 24:03
  I'm
• 24:03
  just,
• 24:04
  I'm
• 24:04
  not
• 24:04
  sure
• 24:04
  how
• 24:05
  common
• 24:05
  it
• 24:05
  is,
• 24:05
  but
• 24:06
  I
• 24:06
  have,
• 24:07
  I've
• 24:07
  seen
• 24:08
  people
• 24:08
  that
• 24:08
  have
• 24:09
  wells
• 24:09
  that
• 24:09
  have
• 24:09
  radon
• 24:10
  in
• 24:10
  their
• 24:11
  water.
• 24:11
  Is
• 24:11
  that
• 24:11
  something
• 24:12
  that
• 24:12
  you
• 24:12
  deal
• 24:12
  with
• 24:12
  a
• 24:12
  lot?
• 24:13
  Yeah,
• 24:14
  it's
• 24:14
  not
• 24:14
  as.
• 24:15
  As
• 24:15
  common.
• 24:16
  Obviously
• 24:16
  there
• 24:16
  aren't
• 24:17
  as
• 24:17
  many
• 24:17
  people
• 24:18
  across
• 24:18
  the
• 24:18
  country
• 24:18
  that
• 24:19
  have
• 24:19
  their,
• 24:19
  that
• 24:19
  they're
• 24:20
  drinking
• 24:20
  water
• 24:21
  sources
• 24:21
  from
• 24:21
  a
• 24:22
  well.
• 24:22
  But
• 24:22
  if
• 24:22
  you're
• 24:22
  on
• 24:23
  a
• 24:23
  private
• 24:23
  well,
• 24:24
  there's
• 24:24
  certainly
• 24:25
  the
• 24:25
  potential
• 24:26
  the
• 24:26
  radon
• 24:27
  can
• 24:27
  be.
• 24:28
  Can
• 24:28
  become
• 24:29
  somewhat
• 24:29
  soluble
• 24:30
  in
• 24:30
  the
• 24:30
  water.
• 24:31
  And
• 24:31
  then
• 24:31
  you
• 24:31
  bring
• 24:32
  the
• 24:32
  water
• 24:32
  in
• 24:32
  from
• 24:32
  the
• 24:33
  well
• 24:33
  and
• 24:34
  then
• 24:34
  it
• 24:34
  aerates
• 24:35
  as
• 24:36
  you're
• 24:36
  taking
• 24:36
  a
• 24:36
  shower
• 24:37
  or
• 24:37
  you're
• 24:37
  running,
• 24:38
  washing
• 24:38
  dishes
• 24:39
  or
• 24:39
  washing
• 24:40
  clothes,
• 24:40
  whatever,
• 24:41
  then
• 24:41
  the
• 24:42
  gas
• 24:42
  comes
• 24:42
  out.
• 24:43
  And
• 24:44
  if
• 24:44
  you
• 24:44
  were
• 24:44
  monitoring
• 24:45
  that,
• 24:45
  you
• 24:45
  could
• 24:46
  see
• 24:46
  no
• 24:47
  water
• 24:47
  usage.
• 24:47
  Radar
• 24:48
  concentrations
• 24:49
  might
• 24:49
  be
• 24:49
  low
• 24:49
  and
• 24:49
  then
• 24:50
  up.
• 24:50
  Now
• 24:51
  the
• 24:51
  laundry
• 24:51
  starts
• 24:52
  and
• 24:52
  the
• 24:52
  radon
• 24:53
  spikes
• 24:53
  up
• 24:53
  real
• 24:53
  high
• 24:54
  and
• 24:54
  then
• 24:54
  it
• 24:54
  takes
• 24:54
  a
• 24:54
  while
• 24:54
  to
• 24:55
  come
• 24:55
  back
• 24:55
  down.
• 24:56
  Yeah.
• 24:56
  Take
• 24:56
  a
• 24:57
  shower.
• 24:57
  Same
• 24:57
  sort
• 24:57
  of
• 24:58
  thing.
• 24:58
  So
• 24:59
  it's
• 24:59
  certainly
• 24:59
  something
• 25:00
  that
• 25:00
  has
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  be
• 25:01
  dealt
• 25:02
  with
• 25:02
  in
• 25:02
  a
• 25:02
  lot
• 25:03
  of
• 25:03
  areas.
• 25:04
  I
• 25:04
  know
• 25:06
  a
• 25:06
  lot
• 25:06
  of
• 25:06
  mitigators
• 25:07
  deal
• 25:07
  with
• 25:08
  that
• 25:08
  up
• 25:08
  in
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  northeast
• 25:09
  part
• 25:09
  of
• 25:09
  the
• 25:09
  United
• 25:09
  States,
• 25:10
  but
• 25:10
  that's
• 25:11
  not
• 25:11
  the
• 25:11
  only
• 25:11
  place.
• 25:12
  Yeah,
• 25:13
  it
• 25:13
  can
• 25:13
  show
• 25:13
  up
• 25:14
  anywhere.
• 25:15
  If
• 25:15
  you're
• 25:15
  on
• 25:15
  a
• 25:15
  well,
• 25:16
  a
• 25:16
  private
• 25:17
  well,
• 25:17
  then
• 25:18
  it's
• 25:18
  really
• 25:18
  good
• 25:19
  to
• 25:19
  also
• 25:20
  be
• 25:20
  conscious
• 25:20
  that
• 25:21
  if
• 25:21
  you
• 25:21
  test
• 25:21
  for
• 25:22
  radon
• 25:22
  in
• 25:22
  air,
• 25:23
  you
• 25:24
  should
• 25:24
  do
• 25:24
  that
• 25:24
  first.
• 25:25
  If
• 25:25
  you
• 25:25
  find
• 25:26
  an
• 25:26
  elevated
• 25:26
  concentration
• 25:27
  there,
• 25:28
  then
• 25:29
  you
• 25:29
  should
• 25:29
  also
• 25:30
  check
• 25:30
  out
• 25:30
  your
• 25:31
  water.
• 25:32
  Just
• 25:33
  the
• 25:33
  exception
• 25:33
  to
• 25:33
  that
• 25:33
  is
• 25:33
  if
• 25:34
  you're
• 25:34
  testing
• 25:34
  the
• 25:34
  house
• 25:35
  for
• 25:35
  radon
• 25:36
  and
• 25:36
  air
• 25:36
  and
• 25:36
  no
• 25:36
  one's
• 25:37
  living
• 25:37
  there
• 25:37
  and
• 25:37
  they're
• 25:38
  not
• 25:38
  using
• 25:38
  the
• 25:38
  water,
• 25:38
  then
• 25:39
  you
• 25:39
  would
• 25:39
  miss
• 25:39
  the
• 25:39
  well.
• 25:40
  Exactly.
• 25:40
  Yeah,
• 25:41
  absolutely.
• 25:41
  If
• 25:41
  there's
• 25:42
  no
• 25:42
  real
• 25:42
  life
• 25:42
  stuff
• 25:43
  going
• 25:43
  on,
• 25:43
  then
• 25:43
  that
• 25:43
  could
• 25:43
  be
• 25:44
  a
• 25:44
  problem.
• 25:44
  Makes
• 25:44
  sense.
• 25:45
  So
• 25:46
  I
• 25:47
  had
• 25:47
  that
• 25:47
  same
• 25:48
  listener,
• 25:48
  Beth,
• 25:49
  who
• 25:49
  wrote
• 25:49
  in.
• 25:50
  She'd
• 25:50
  asked
• 25:51
  about
• 25:51
  it.
• 25:51
  Is
• 25:51
  it
• 25:51
  common
• 25:52
  that
• 25:52
  you
• 25:52
  see
• 25:52
  out
• 25:52
  there
• 25:52
  that
• 25:53
  radon
• 25:53
  companies
• 25:54
  don't
• 25:54
  guarantee
• 25:56
  that
• 25:56
  they
• 25:56
  can
• 25:56
  reduce
• 25:57
  the
• 25:57
  radon
• 25:58
  level
• 25:58
  by
• 25:58
  putting
• 25:59
  in
• 25:59
  a
• 26:00
  mitigation
• 26:00
  system?
• 26:01
  Is
• 26:01
  that
• 26:01
  something
• 26:02
  common?
• 26:02
  I
• 26:02
  don't
• 26:03
  want
• 26:03
  to
• 26:03
  get
• 26:03
  into
• 26:03
  the
• 26:03
  he
• 26:03
  said,
• 26:04
  she
• 26:04
  said
• 26:04
  and
• 26:04
  bashing
• 26:05
  contractors,
• 26:05
  but
• 26:06
  I
• 26:06
  know
• 26:06
  that's
• 26:07
  a
• 26:08
  concern
• 26:08
  for
• 26:08
  people.
• 26:09
  Yeah.
• 26:10
  I
• 26:10
  would
• 26:10
  say
• 26:11
  to
• 26:12
  homeowners
• 26:13
  to
• 26:13
  be
• 26:14
  sure
• 26:14
  and
• 26:14
  read
• 26:14
  contracts
• 26:16
  and
• 26:16
  make
• 26:16
  sure
• 26:16
  you
• 26:17
  ask
• 26:17
  that
• 26:17
  question,
• 26:18
  just
• 26:19
  what
• 26:19
  are
• 26:19
  you
• 26:20
  going
• 26:20
  to
• 26:21
  do?
• 26:21
  What
• 26:21
  is
• 26:21
  the
• 26:22
  deliverable
• 26:24
  for
• 26:24
  what
• 26:24
  I'm
• 26:25
  paying
• 26:25
  you?
• 26:26
  And
• 26:26
  there
• 26:26
  will
• 26:27
  be
• 26:27
  situations.
• 26:28
  Perhaps.
• 26:29
  I'll
• 26:29
  give
• 26:30
  you
• 26:30
  an
• 26:30
  example.
• 26:30
  Let's
• 26:30
  say
• 26:30
  the
• 26:31
  house
• 26:31
  is
• 26:32
  multiple
• 26:33
  foundation
• 26:33
  type.
• 26:33
  You
• 26:34
  have
• 26:34
  a
• 26:34
  basement
• 26:35
  section.
• 26:35
  You
• 26:35
  have
• 26:36
  an
• 26:36
  adjacent
• 26:37
  crawl
• 26:37
  space
• 26:38
  and
• 26:38
  maybe
• 26:38
  even
• 26:39
  a
• 26:39
  little
• 26:39
  slab
• 26:39
  on
• 26:39
  grade
• 26:40
  area.
• 26:41
  Then
• 26:41
  perhaps
• 26:41
  the
• 26:42
  mitigator
• 26:42
  will
• 26:43
  give
• 26:43
  you
• 26:43
  a
• 26:43
  quote
• 26:44
  on
• 26:45
  doing
• 26:46
  the
• 26:46
  work
• 26:47
  that
• 26:47
  would
• 26:47
  address
• 26:48
  that
• 26:48
  basement
• 26:49
  and
• 26:50
  not
• 26:50
  address
• 26:51
  the
• 26:51
  crawl
• 26:51
  space
• 26:52
  or
• 26:52
  the
• 26:52
  adjacent
• 26:52
  slab
• 26:53
  and
• 26:54
  not
• 26:54
  guarantee
• 26:55
  and
• 26:56
  say,
• 26:56
  let's
• 26:56
  see
• 26:56
  whether
• 26:57
  this
• 26:57
  works
• 26:57
  or
• 26:57
  not.
• 26:57
  If
• 26:57
  it
• 26:58
  doesn't
• 26:58
  work,
• 26:58
  then
• 26:58
  we
• 26:58
  need
• 26:59
  to
• 26:59
  move
• 26:59
  to
• 26:59
  phase
• 26:59
  two
• 27:00
  and
• 27:00
  three.
• 27:01
  So
• 27:01
  that
• 27:01
  can
• 27:01
  happen.
• 27:02
  Sure.
• 27:02
  But
• 27:03
  there
• 27:03
  are,
• 27:04
  unfortunately,
• 27:05
  like
• 27:05
  any
• 27:06
  business,
• 27:06
  there
• 27:07
  are
• 27:07
  contractors
• 27:07
  that
• 27:08
  even
• 27:09
  on
• 27:09
  a
• 27:09
  relatively
• 27:10
  simple
• 27:10
  mitigation,
• 27:11
  may
• 27:12
  not
• 27:12
  guarantee.
• 27:13
  So
• 27:13
  I
• 27:14
  would
• 27:14
  always
• 27:14
  ask.
• 27:15
  Yeah,
• 27:15
  up
• 27:15
  front.
• 27:16
  That's
• 27:16
  when
• 27:16
  you
• 27:16
  start
• 27:17
  asking
• 27:17
  questions.
• 27:17
  Right?
• 27:18
  That's
• 27:18
  when
• 27:18
  you
• 27:18
  start
• 27:18
  asking
• 27:19
  questions.
• 27:20
  Well,
• 27:20
  I
• 27:21
  love
• 27:21
  talking
• 27:21
  with
• 27:21
  you
• 27:22
  about
• 27:22
  this
• 27:22
  because
• 27:22
  I'm
• 27:23
  learning
• 27:23
  a
• 27:23
  lot
• 27:23
  here
• 27:23
  too,
• 27:24
  which
• 27:24
  means
• 27:24
  everybody
• 27:24
  out
• 27:25
  in
• 27:25
  the
• 27:25
  audience
• 27:25
  is
• 27:25
  learning
• 27:26
  as
• 27:26
  well.
• 27:26
  What
• 27:27
  do
• 27:27
  you
• 27:27
  think
• 27:27
  about.
• 27:27
  There's
• 27:28
  been
• 27:28
  a
• 27:28
  big
• 27:28
  trend
• 27:29
  now
• 27:29
  with
• 27:29
  people
• 27:29
  worried
• 27:30
  about
• 27:30
  healthy
• 27:31
  air,
• 27:31
  which
• 27:31
  is
• 27:31
  great.
• 27:32
  That's
• 27:32
  probably
• 27:33
  the
• 27:33
  good
• 27:33
  thing
• 27:33
  that
• 27:34
  came
• 27:34
  out
• 27:34
  of
• 27:34
  the
• 27:35
  whole
• 27:35
  Covid
• 27:35
  thing
• 27:36
  is
• 27:36
  people
• 27:36
  started
• 27:36
  paying
• 27:37
  attention
• 27:37
  to
• 27:37
  what
• 27:37
  they're
• 27:37
  breathing.
• 27:38
  And
• 27:39
  hats
• 27:39
  off
• 27:39
  for
• 27:39
  us
• 27:40
  learning
• 27:40
  something
• 27:40
  out
• 27:40
  of
• 27:40
  that,
• 27:41
  but
• 27:41
  I'm
• 27:42
  seeing
• 27:42
  more
• 27:42
  encapsulated
• 27:43
  crawl
• 27:44
  spaces
• 27:44
  and
• 27:45
  things
• 27:45
  like
• 27:45
  that.
• 27:46
  How
• 27:46
  does
• 27:47
  that
• 27:47
  affect
• 27:48
  radon
• 27:48
  if
• 27:49
  it's
• 27:49
  done
• 27:49
  correctly?
• 29:56
  And
• 29:57
  there's
• 29:57
  a
• 29:57
  big
• 29:57
  asterisk
• 29:58
  there,
• 27:51
  right?
• 29:59
  Yeah.
• 30:00
  Let's.
• 30:00
  Let
• 30:01
  me
• 30:01
  answer
• 30:01
  that
• 30:01
  in
• 30:01
  two
• 30:02
  ways.
• 30:02
  First
• 30:02
  of
• 30:02
  all,
• 30:02
  the
• 30:03
  encapsulated
• 30:03
  crawl
• 30:04
  spaces,
• 30:05
  it.
• 30:07
  That
• 30:07
  is
• 30:07
  part
• 30:08
  of
• 30:08
  a
• 30:08
  radon
• 30:08
  mitigation
• 30:09
  system
• 30:09
  for
• 30:09
  a
• 30:09
  house
• 30:10
  that's
• 30:10
  on
• 30:10
  an
• 30:10
  earth
• 30:10
  crawl
• 30:11
  space.
• 30:11
  Okay.
• 30:12
  But
• 30:12
  if
• 30:13
  you
• 30:13
  don't
• 30:13
  depressurize
• 30:14
  underneath
• 30:14
  that
• 30:15
  barrier
• 30:16
  that
• 30:16
  you
• 30:16
  put
• 30:16
  down,
• 30:17
  then
• 30:18
  there
• 30:18
  is
• 30:18
  no
• 30:19
  way
• 30:19
  to
• 30:19
  completely
• 30:20
  make
• 30:21
  that
• 30:22
  house
• 30:23
  sealed
• 30:24
  from
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  soil.
• 30:25
  Regardless
• 30:26
  of
• 30:26
  how
• 30:27
  pretty
• 30:27
  it
• 30:27
  looks,
• 30:28
  there
• 30:29
  is
• 30:29
  basically
• 30:30
  radon
• 30:30
  is
• 30:31
  going
• 30:31
  to
• 30:31
  build
• 30:31
  up
• 30:31
  underneath
• 30:32
  that
• 30:32
  barrier
• 30:32
  and
• 30:33
  find
• 30:33
  somehow
• 30:34
  to
• 30:34
  come
• 30:34
  in
• 30:35
  at
• 30:35
  higher
• 30:35
  concentrations
• 30:36
  and
• 30:36
  be
• 30:37
  drawn
• 30:37
  up
• 30:38
  into
• 30:38
  the
• 30:38
  living
• 30:38
  space
• 30:39
  above.
• 30:40
  More
• 30:40
  and
• 30:40
  more
• 30:40
  of
• 30:41
  the
• 30:41
  crawl
• 30:41
  space
• 30:41
  encapsulation
• 30:42
  companies
• 30:43
  are
• 30:45
  incorporating
• 30:45
  radon
• 30:46
  mitigation
• 30:47
  into
• 30:48
  their
• 30:48
  systems.
• 30:49
  The
• 30:49
  best
• 30:49
  way
• 30:49
  to
• 30:49
  do
• 30:50
  that
• 30:50
  is
• 30:50
  if
• 30:50
  you
• 30:50
  want
• 30:51
  to
• 30:51
  have
• 30:51
  a
• 30:51
  crawl
• 30:51
  space
• 30:52
  encapsulated,
• 30:53
  test
• 30:53
  your
• 30:54
  home
• 30:54
  for
• 30:54
  radon
• 30:55
  first.
• 30:55
  There
• 30:55
  you
• 30:55
  go.
• 30:56
  And,
• 30:56
  and.
• 30:57
  And
• 30:57
  then
• 30:57
  make
• 30:58
  sure
• 30:58
  that
• 30:59
  they
• 30:59
  go
• 30:59
  ahead
• 31:00
  and
• 31:00
  address
• 31:01
  the
• 31:01
  radon
• 31:02
  while
• 31:02
  they're
• 31:03
  encapsulating
• 31:03
  the
• 31:03
  crawl
• 31:04
  space.
• 31:04
  It
• 31:05
  will
• 31:05
  make
• 31:06
  the
• 31:06
  air
• 31:06
  quality
• 31:06
  in
• 31:06
  your
• 31:07
  house
• 31:08
  so
• 31:08
  much
• 31:08
  better.
• 31:09
  And
• 31:09
  address
• 31:10
  the
• 31:10
  radon
• 31:10
  at
• 31:10
  the
• 31:10
  same
• 31:11
  time
• 31:11
  in
• 31:12
  the
• 31:12
  southeast.
• 31:13
  And,
• 31:13
  and
• 31:13
  I
• 31:14
  know
• 31:14
  it's
• 31:14
  in
• 31:14
  other
• 31:14
  places
• 31:15
  a
• 31:15
  lot
• 31:15
  of
• 31:15
  times
• 31:15
  the
• 31:15
  air
• 31:15
  handlers
• 31:16
  and
• 31:16
  the
• 31:16
  ductwork
• 31:17
  are
• 31:17
  down
• 31:17
  in
• 31:17
  that
• 31:17
  nasty
• 31:18
  crawl
• 31:18
  space.
• 31:18
  Yep.
• 31:19
  And.
• 31:19
  And
• 31:20
  there's
• 31:20
  all
• 31:20
  sorts
• 31:21
  of
• 31:21
  opportunities
• 31:21
  for
• 31:22
  mold
• 31:22
  and
• 31:22
  other
• 31:23
  contaminants
• 31:23
  to
• 31:24
  be,
• 31:24
  you
• 31:24
  know,
• 31:24
  that
• 31:24
  moisture
• 31:25
  and
• 31:25
  to
• 31:25
  be
• 31:26
  drawn
• 31:26
  up
• 31:26
  into
• 31:26
  the
• 31:27
  living
• 31:27
  area.
• 31:28
  So
• 31:28
  I
• 31:29
  encourage
• 31:29
  people
• 31:29
  to.
• 31:30
  To
• 31:30
  do
• 31:30
  that.
• 31:31
  But
• 31:31
  there
• 31:32
  are
• 31:32
  encapsulation
• 31:33
  companies
• 31:33
  out
• 31:33
  there
• 31:34
  who
• 31:34
  have
• 31:34
  not
• 31:35
  been
• 31:35
  trained
• 31:35
  on
• 31:35
  radon
• 31:36
  and
• 31:36
  don't
• 31:36
  think
• 31:37
  about
• 31:37
  it
• 31:37
  and
• 31:37
  don't
• 31:38
  want
• 31:38
  to
• 31:38
  get
• 31:38
  into
• 31:38
  the.
• 31:39
  The
• 31:39
  extra.
• 31:40
  We
• 31:41
  need
• 31:41
  to
• 31:41
  test
• 31:41
  first
• 31:42
  before
• 31:42
  we
• 31:42
  come
• 31:43
  out
• 31:43
  and
• 31:43
  make
• 31:44
  sure
• 31:44
  whether
• 31:44
  to
• 31:44
  include
• 31:45
  that.
• 31:45
  So
• 31:45
  ask
• 31:46
  those
• 31:46
  questions.
• 31:47
  One
• 31:48
  other
• 31:48
  thing
• 31:48
  you
• 31:49
  reminded
• 31:49
  me
• 31:49
  of
• 31:49
  that
• 31:50
  when
• 31:50
  you're
• 31:50
  talking
• 31:51
  about
• 31:51
  builders,
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  lot
• 31:52
  of
• 31:52
  times
• 31:53
  there
• 31:53
  are
• 31:54
  jurisdictions
• 31:54
  where
• 31:55
  they
• 31:55
  require,
• 31:56
  I
• 31:56
  like
• 31:56
  to
• 31:56
  call
• 31:56
  it
• 31:56
  radon
• 31:57
  ready
• 31:58
  new
• 31:58
  construction
• 31:59
  features.
• 32:00
  Originally
• 32:00
  they
• 32:00
  called
• 32:00
  them
• 32:01
  radon
• 32:01
  resistant,
• 32:02
  which
• 32:02
  is
• 32:02
  basically
• 32:03
  what
• 32:03
  you
• 32:03
  were
• 32:03
  talking
• 32:03
  about.
• 32:03
  Putting
• 32:04
  the
• 32:04
  gravel
• 32:04
  bed
• 32:04
  and
• 32:05
  maybe
• 32:06
  a
• 32:06
  well
• 32:06
  point
• 32:06
  with
• 32:07
  a
• 32:07
  suction
• 32:08
  pipe
• 32:08
  that
• 32:08
  can
• 32:09
  come
• 32:09
  up,
• 32:09
  but
• 32:09
  they
• 32:09
  don't
• 32:09
  have
• 32:10
  a
• 32:10
  fan.
• 32:11
  And
• 32:12
  so
• 32:12
  the
• 32:12
  builders
• 32:13
  will
• 32:13
  advertise.
• 32:13
  Oh,
• 32:14
  we
• 32:14
  took
• 32:14
  radon
• 32:16
  measures
• 32:17
  in
• 32:17
  the
• 32:17
  construction,
• 32:18
  but
• 32:19
  people
• 32:19
  are
• 32:19
  Misled
• 32:20
  into
• 32:20
  thinking
• 32:21
  they
• 32:21
  don't
• 32:22
  need
• 32:22
  to
• 32:22
  test.
• 32:23
  Yes.
• 32:23
  You
• 32:23
  need
• 32:24
  to
• 32:24
  make
• 32:24
  sure
• 32:24
  that
• 32:25
  regardless
• 32:25
  of
• 32:25
  what
• 32:25
  the
• 32:25
  builder
• 32:26
  tells
• 32:26
  you
• 32:26
  about
• 32:27
  what
• 32:27
  they've
• 32:27
  done
• 32:27
  to
• 32:28
  resist
• 32:28
  radon
• 32:29
  in
• 32:29
  the
• 32:29
  construction
• 32:30
  that
• 32:30
  you
• 32:31
  test
• 32:32
  before
• 32:32
  you
• 32:32
  purchase,
• 32:33
  where
• 32:34
  you
• 32:34
  will
• 32:34
  know
• 32:34
  whether
• 32:34
  you
• 32:35
  need
• 32:35
  to
• 32:35
  activate
• 32:36
  that
• 32:36
  fan
• 32:37
  or
• 32:37
  activate
• 32:38
  that
• 32:38
  system.
• 32:38
  And
• 32:39
  unfortunately,
• 32:39
  there's
• 32:40
  no
• 32:40
  requirement
• 32:40
  that
• 32:40
  the
• 32:41
  builder
• 32:41
  have
• 32:41
  any
• 32:41
  training
• 32:42
  on
• 32:42
  how
• 32:42
  they
• 32:43
  put
• 32:43
  in
• 32:43
  that
• 32:43
  skeletal
• 32:44
  system.
• 32:45
  So
• 32:46
  there
• 32:46
  are
• 32:47
  situations
• 32:47
  where
• 32:48
  when
• 32:48
  the
• 32:49
  mitigator
• 32:49
  comes
• 32:49
  out
• 32:50
  to
• 32:50
  activate
• 32:50
  the
• 32:50
  fan,
• 32:51
  if
• 32:52
  they've
• 32:52
  tested
• 32:53
  that,
• 32:53
  they.
• 32:54
  They
• 32:54
  have
• 32:54
  to
• 32:54
  abandon
• 32:55
  the
• 32:55
  pipe
• 32:56
  because
• 32:56
  it
• 32:57
  just
• 32:57
  wasn't
• 32:57
  installed
• 32:58
  in
• 32:58
  a
• 32:58
  way
• 32:58
  where
• 32:58
  they
• 32:59
  can
• 32:59
  use
• 32:59
  it.
• 32:59
  So
• 32:59
  then
• 32:59
  they
• 33:00
  need
• 33:00
  to
• 33:00
  tap
• 33:00
  into
• 33:01
  a
• 33:01
  different
• 33:01
  place.
• 33:02
  So
• 33:02
  the
• 33:03
  whole
• 33:03
  idea
• 33:03
  is
• 33:03
  to
• 33:03
  make
• 33:04
  it
• 33:04
  less
• 33:04
  expensive
• 33:05
  to
• 33:05
  fix.
• 33:07
  It's
• 33:07
  not
• 33:07
  going
• 33:07
  to
• 33:08
  necessarily
• 33:08
  prevent
• 33:08
  any
• 33:09
  radon
• 33:09
  from
• 33:09
  entering.
• 33:10
  Good.
• 33:11
  That
• 33:11
  is
• 33:11
  just
• 33:12
  so
• 33:12
  important
• 33:12
  right
• 33:12
  there.
• 33:13
  And
• 33:13
  to
• 33:13
  be
• 33:13
  honest,
• 33:13
  if
• 33:14
  the
• 33:14
  builder
• 33:14
  is
• 33:15
  on
• 33:15
  their
• 33:15
  game
• 33:16
  and
• 33:16
  they're
• 33:16
  at
• 33:16
  least
• 33:16
  doing
• 33:17
  that,
• 33:17
  which
• 33:17
  hats
• 33:17
  off
• 33:18
  to
• 33:18
  the
• 33:18
  builder
• 33:18
  for
• 33:18
  making
• 33:19
  that
• 33:19
  first
• 33:19
  step,
• 33:20
  but
• 33:20
  that
• 33:20
  also
• 33:21
  tells
• 33:21
  you
• 33:21
  that
• 33:21
  enough
• 33:22
  people
• 33:22
  have
• 33:22
  probably
• 33:23
  brought
• 33:23
  this
• 33:24
  up
• 33:24
  in
• 33:24
  the
• 33:24
  area,
• 33:25
  then
• 33:25
  it's
• 33:25
  already
• 33:26
  a
• 33:26
  concern.
• 33:27
  So
• 33:27
  there's
• 33:28
  your
• 33:28
  first
• 33:28
  warning
• 33:28
  light
• 33:29
  of,
• 33:29
  hey,
• 33:30
  take
• 33:30
  it
• 33:30
  seriously.
• 33:31
  Because
• 33:31
  the
• 33:31
  builder's
• 33:32
  going,
• 33:32
  hey,
• 33:32
  we
• 33:32
  gotta
• 33:32
  take
• 33:33
  this
• 33:33
  seriously.
• 33:33
  By
• 33:33
  at
• 33:34
  least
• 33:34
  prepping
• 33:34
  it,
• 33:35
  because
• 33:36
  we've
• 33:36
  got
• 33:36
  a
• 33:36
  lot
• 33:36
  of
• 33:36
  people
• 33:37
  asking
• 33:37
  about
• 33:37
  it,
• 33:37
  which
• 33:37
  is
• 33:38
  awesome.
• 33:38
  Yes.
• 33:39
  So
• 33:40
  that's
• 33:40
  cool.
• 33:41
  All
• 33:41
  right,
• 33:41
  man.
• 33:42
  I'm
• 33:42
  learning
• 33:42
  so
• 33:43
  much
• 33:43
  with
• 33:43
  this
• 33:44
  because
• 33:45
  it's
• 33:45
  just
• 33:45
  such
• 33:46
  an
• 33:46
  evolving
• 33:47
  science
• 33:48
  and
• 33:48
  it's
• 33:48
  one
• 33:49
  of
• 33:49
  those
• 33:49
  things
• 33:49
  that
• 33:49
  it's.
• 33:50
  You
• 33:50
  jump
• 33:51
  online
• 33:51
  and
• 33:52
  this
• 33:52
  is
• 33:52
  one
• 33:52
  of
• 33:52
  the
• 33:53
  things.
• 33:53
  And
• 33:53
  I
• 33:53
  laugh
• 33:54
  and
• 33:54
  almost
• 33:54
  cry
• 33:55
  at
• 33:55
  the
• 33:55
  same
• 33:55
  time.
• 33:56
  But
• 33:56
  we'll
• 33:56
  do
• 33:57
  a
• 33:57
  radon
• 33:57
  episode.
• 33:57
  The
• 33:57
  last
• 33:58
  one
• 33:58
  we
• 33:58
  did
• 33:58
  probably
• 33:59
  three
• 33:59
  or
• 33:59
  four
• 33:59
  years
• 33:59
  ago,
• 34:00
  where
• 34:00
  I
• 34:00
  had
• 34:01
  some
• 34:01
  people
• 34:01
  in
• 34:01
  and
• 34:01
  talking
• 34:02
  about
• 34:02
  it
• 34:02
  and,
• 34:02
  oh,
• 34:03
  the
• 34:04
  hate
• 34:04
  mail
• 34:04
  I
• 34:05
  got,
• 34:05
  which
• 34:05
  I
• 34:05
  don't
• 34:06
  care,
• 34:06
  but
• 34:06
  this
• 34:07
  is
• 34:07
  fake
• 34:07
  science.
• 34:08
  And
• 34:08
  the
• 34:09
  story.
• 34:09
  You
• 34:09
  probably
• 34:10
  run
• 34:10
  into
• 34:10
  that
• 34:10
  every
• 34:10
  day,
• 34:11
  but
• 34:11
  I
• 34:11
  was
• 34:11
  just
• 34:11
  like,
• 34:12
  yes.
• 34:12
  Oh,
• 34:13
  great,
• 34:13
  we
• 34:13
  got
• 34:13
  flat
• 34:13
  earthers
• 34:14
  commenting
• 34:14
  on
• 34:15
  science
• 34:15
  again.
• 34:15
  Awesome.
• 34:16
  Yeah,
• 34:16
  it
• 34:17
  is
• 34:17
  frustrating
• 34:18
  when
• 34:18
  you
• 34:19
  have
• 34:20
  an
• 34:20
  opportunity
• 34:21
  to
• 34:21
  meet
• 34:22
  people.
• 34:24
  And
• 34:24
  I
• 34:24
  meet
• 34:25
  them
• 34:25
  every
• 34:26
  week,
• 34:26
  almost
• 34:27
  find
• 34:27
  out
• 34:27
  about
• 34:27
  them,
• 34:28
  hear
• 34:28
  about
• 34:28
  them,
• 34:28
  or
• 34:29
  get
• 34:29
  a
• 34:29
  chance
• 34:30
  to
• 34:30
  actually
• 34:30
  talk
• 34:30
  to
• 34:30
  them
• 34:31
  who
• 34:31
  have
• 34:32
  lung
• 34:32
  cancer,
• 34:33
  who
• 34:33
  never
• 34:34
  smoked,
• 34:35
  who
• 34:35
  are
• 34:35
  often
• 34:36
  quite
• 34:36
  young,
• 34:37
  and
• 34:37
  they're
• 34:38
  asking
• 34:38
  the
• 34:38
  question,
• 34:39
  how
• 34:39
  did
• 34:40
  I
• 34:40
  get
• 34:40
  lung
• 34:40
  cancer?
• 34:41
  I
• 34:42
  stayed
• 34:42
  away
• 34:42
  from
• 34:43
  cigarettes.
• 34:44
  I
• 34:44
  wasn't
• 34:44
  around
• 34:45
  secondhand
• 34:45
  smoke,
• 34:47
  what
• 34:47
  happened?
• 34:48
  And
• 34:48
  they're
• 34:49
  curious.
• 34:49
  They
• 34:49
  want
• 34:50
  to
• 34:50
  know
• 34:50
  that
• 34:50
  even
• 34:50
  though
• 34:51
  it's
• 34:51
  there
• 34:51
  in
• 34:51
  that
• 34:52
  situation,
• 34:52
  they
• 34:52
  want
• 34:53
  to
• 34:53
  find
• 34:53
  out,
• 34:54
  is
• 34:54
  my
• 34:54
  family
• 34:55
  at
• 34:55
  risk,
• 34:56
  my.
• 34:56
  My
• 34:57
  children,
• 34:57
  my
• 34:57
  parents
• 34:58
  and
• 34:58
  they
• 34:59
  began
• 34:59
  to
• 34:59
  test
• 34:59
  the
• 35:00
  house
• 35:00
  they
• 35:00
  grew
• 35:00
  up
• 35:01
  in,
• 35:01
  if
• 35:01
  they
• 35:02
  still
• 35:02
  have
• 35:02
  access
• 35:02
  or
• 35:03
  the
• 35:03
  house
• 35:03
  they're
• 35:03
  living
• 35:04
  in,
• 35:04
  and
• 35:04
  they
• 35:04
  start
• 35:04
  to
• 35:05
  put
• 35:05
  things
• 35:05
  together.
• 35:06
  If
• 35:06
  you
• 35:07
  talk
• 35:07
  to
• 35:07
  colleges
• 35:08
  who
• 35:08
  deal
• 35:08
  with
• 35:09
  lung
• 35:09
  cancer,
• 35:10
  they'll
• 35:10
  tell
• 35:10
  you
• 35:11
  this
• 35:11
  is
• 35:11
  real
• 35:11
  stuff.
• 35:12
  So
• 35:13
  I
• 35:13
  hope
• 35:13
  that
• 35:14
  we're
• 35:14
  moving
• 35:15
  past
• 35:15
  that
• 35:15
  point
• 35:16
  that
• 35:16
  this
• 35:16
  is
• 35:16
  all
• 35:16
  nonsense,
• 35:17
  it's
• 35:18
  easy
• 35:18
  to
• 35:18
  disregard
• 35:19
  or
• 35:20
  because
• 35:20
  you
• 35:20
  can't
• 35:21
  see
• 35:21
  it
• 35:21
  and
• 35:21
  taste
• 35:22
  it
• 35:22
  and
• 35:22
  smell
• 35:22
  it,
• 35:23
  but
• 35:24
  it's
• 35:24
  there,
• 35:24
  it's
• 35:25
  radiation.
• 35:25
  And
• 35:26
  that
• 35:26
  radiation
• 35:27
  can
• 35:27
  definitely
• 35:28
  do
• 35:28
  harm
• 35:29
  to
• 35:29
  your
• 35:29
  lung
• 35:29
  cells.
• 35:30
  There
• 35:30
  is
• 35:31
  a
• 35:31
  story
• 35:31
  over
• 35:31
  on
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  American
• 35:32
  Lung
• 35:32
  association
• 35:33
  page.
• 35:34
  These
• 35:34
  people
• 35:35
  live
• 35:35
  a
• 35:35
  half
• 35:35
  lived,
• 35:36
  I'll
• 35:36
  say,
• 35:37
  half
• 35:37
  mile
• 35:37
  from
• 35:38
  me.
• 35:38
  And
• 35:39
  they
• 35:39
  did
• 35:39
  exactly
• 35:40
  that.
• 35:40
  They.
• 35:40
  I
• 35:40
  remember
• 35:41
  reading
• 35:41
  the
• 35:41
  news
• 35:41
  story,
• 35:42
  so
• 35:42
  I
• 35:42
  might
• 35:42
  have
• 35:42
  the
• 35:42
  numbers
• 35:43
  off
• 35:43
  here
• 35:43
  wrong
• 35:43
  guys,
• 35:44
  because
• 35:44
  it's
• 35:44
  been
• 35:44
  a
• 35:44
  number
• 35:44
  of
• 35:45
  years
• 35:45
  since
• 35:45
  I've
• 35:45
  looked
• 35:45
  at
• 35:45
  it.
• 35:46
  But
• 35:46
  I
• 35:46
  believe
• 35:47
  he
• 35:47
  was
• 35:48
  45,
• 35:48
  died
• 35:49
  from
• 35:49
  stage
• 35:49
  four
• 35:49
  lung
• 35:50
  cancer,
• 35:50
  had
• 35:51
  never
• 35:51
  smoked
• 35:51
  a
• 35:51
  day
• 35:52
  in
• 35:52
  his
• 35:52
  life.
• 35:53
  And
• 35:53
  if
• 35:53
  I
• 35:53
  remember
• 35:54
  right,
• 35:54
  and
• 35:54
  there's
• 35:54
  an
• 35:54
  asterisk
• 35:55
  here,
• 35:55
  I
• 35:55
  thought
• 35:56
  the
• 35:56
  number
• 35:56
  was
• 35:56
  like
• 35:57
  10
• 35:57
  or
• 35:57
  12
• 35:58
  in
• 35:58
  the
• 35:59
  house.
• 36:00
  And
• 36:00
  we
• 36:01
  have
• 36:01
  had
• 36:01
  more
• 36:02
  than
• 36:02
  one
• 36:02
  couple
• 36:02
  here
• 36:03
  in
• 36:04
  my
• 36:04
  neighborhood
• 36:05
  that
• 36:05
  have
• 36:05
  died
• 36:06
  from
• 36:06
  it.
• 36:06
  That.
• 36:07
  So
• 36:07
  it's
• 36:07
  very
• 36:08
  real.
• 36:08
  It's
• 36:09
  happened
• 36:09
  down
• 36:09
  the
• 36:09
  street.
• 36:10
  And,
• 36:11
  and
• 36:11
  what
• 36:11
  I
• 36:11
  think
• 36:11
  is
• 36:12
  interesting
• 36:12
  too
• 36:12
  is
• 36:12
  depending
• 36:13
  on
• 36:13
  how
• 36:13
  the
• 36:13
  house
• 36:14
  was
• 36:14
  built,
• 36:14
  you
• 36:15
  can
• 36:15
  go
• 36:15
  down
• 36:15
  the
• 36:15
  house
• 36:16
  and
• 36:16
  test
• 36:17
  all
• 36:17
  the
• 36:17
  way
• 36:17
  down
• 36:17
  the
• 36:18
  street
• 36:19
  and
• 36:19
  you
• 36:19
  can
• 36:19
  get
• 36:20
  12
• 36:20
  houses
• 36:21
  and
• 36:21
  12
• 36:21
  readings.
• 36:23
  Very
• 36:23
  different.
• 36:23
  Yes.
• 36:24
  You
• 36:24
  can
• 36:24
  have
• 36:24
  a
• 36:24
  house
• 36:25
  that's
• 36:25
  extremely
• 36:26
  high
• 36:26
  and
• 36:26
  two
• 36:27
  houses
• 36:27
  that
• 36:27
  are
• 36:27
  very
• 36:28
  low
• 36:28
  and
• 36:29
  then
• 36:29
  another
• 36:29
  house
• 36:30
  that's
• 36:30
  high.
• 36:31
  The
• 36:31
  other
• 36:31
  thing
• 36:31
  on
• 36:32
  new
• 36:32
  houses,
• 36:33
  there
• 36:33
  are
• 36:33
  those
• 36:33
  houses
• 36:34
  now
• 36:34
  that
• 36:34
  have
• 36:36
  perhaps
• 36:37
  additional
• 36:38
  mechanical
• 36:38
  ventilation
• 36:39
  with
• 36:40
  their
• 36:40
  hrv.
• 36:41
  But
• 36:41
  there
• 36:41
  are
• 36:42
  also
• 36:42
  a
• 36:42
  lot
• 36:42
  of
• 36:42
  new
• 36:43
  construction
• 36:43
  where
• 36:44
  they
• 36:44
  made
• 36:44
  the
• 36:44
  house
• 36:45
  very
• 36:45
  tight
• 36:46
  for
• 36:47
  as
• 36:47
  far
• 36:47
  as
• 36:47
  insulation
• 36:48
  and
• 36:48
  air
• 36:48
  sealing
• 36:49
  for
• 36:49
  energy
• 36:50
  efficiency,
• 36:50
  but
• 36:51
  they
• 36:51
  didn't
• 36:51
  add
• 36:52
  in
• 36:52
  mechanical
• 36:53
  ventilation.
• 36:54
  So
• 36:55
  they're
• 36:55
  out
• 36:55
  there,
• 36:56
  a
• 36:56
  lot
• 36:56
  of
• 36:56
  them.
• 36:57
  And
• 36:57
  as
• 36:58
  we've
• 36:59
  made
• 36:59
  our
• 36:59
  houses
• 37:00
  tighter,
• 37:01
  then
• 37:02
  we're
• 37:02
  continuing
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  build
• 37:04
  houses
• 37:05
  at
• 37:05
  a
• 37:05
  high.
• 37:05
  With
• 37:06
  radon
• 37:06
  problems
• 37:06
  at
• 37:07
  a
• 37:07
  higher
• 37:07
  rate,
• 37:08
  then
• 37:09
  we
• 37:09
  can
• 37:09
  mitigate.
• 37:10
  So
• 37:11
  it's
• 37:11
  an
• 37:11
  ongoing
• 37:12
  problem
• 37:12
  and
• 37:13
  I.
• 37:13
  See
• 37:13
  some
• 37:13
  issues
• 37:13
  in
• 37:14
  parts
• 37:14
  of
• 37:14
  the
• 37:14
  country
• 37:15
  and
• 37:15
  I've
• 37:15
  noticed
• 37:15
  this
• 37:16
  with
• 37:16
  the.
• 37:16
  To
• 37:17
  go
• 37:17
  back
• 37:17
  for
• 37:17
  a
• 37:17
  second
• 37:18
  on
• 37:18
  the
• 37:18
  crawl
• 37:18
  space
• 37:19
  encapsulation
• 37:20
  companies
• 37:20
  here
• 37:21
  in
• 37:21
  my
• 37:21
  area,
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  tendency
• 37:22
  is
• 37:23
  as
• 37:23
  they
• 37:23
  put
• 37:23
  in
• 37:24
  to
• 37:24
  control
• 37:24
  humidity
• 37:25
  down
• 37:25
  there,
• 37:25
  they'll
• 37:26
  put
• 37:26
  a
• 37:26
  dehumidifier
• 37:27
  in.
• 37:27
  But
• 37:28
  I
• 37:28
  have
• 37:28
  seen
• 37:28
  in
• 37:29
  other
• 37:29
  parts
• 37:29
  of
• 37:29
  the
• 37:29
  country
• 37:30
  where
• 37:31
  it's
• 37:31
  really
• 37:31
  common
• 37:31
  for
• 37:32
  them
• 37:32
  to
• 37:32
  go,
• 37:32
  oh,
• 37:32
  I'm
• 37:33
  just
• 37:33
  going
• 37:33
  to
• 37:33
  add
• 37:33
  another
• 37:34
  duct
• 37:34
  down
• 37:34
  here,
• 37:35
  and
• 37:36
  that
• 37:36
  way
• 37:36
  we
• 37:37
  get
• 37:37
  the
• 37:37
  air
• 37:37
  movement
• 37:38
  so
• 37:38
  we
• 37:39
  don't
• 37:39
  have
• 37:39
  the
• 37:39
  stale
• 37:40
  air.
• 37:40
  And
• 37:41
  we're
• 37:41
  just
• 37:41
  going
• 37:41
  to
• 37:41
  add.
• 37:42
  We
• 37:42
  already
• 37:42
  got
• 37:42
  the
• 37:42
  ducts
• 37:43
  here
• 37:43
  anyway.
• 37:43
  We're
• 37:43
  just
• 37:44
  going
• 37:44
  to
• 37:44
  have
• 37:44
  an
• 37:44
  H
• 37:44
  Vac
• 37:45
  person
• 37:45
  input
• 37:45
  a
• 37:45
  duct
• 37:46
  and
• 37:46
  a
• 37:46
  return
• 37:47
  air
• 37:47
  down
• 37:47
  here
• 37:47
  real
• 37:48
  quick
• 37:48
  because
• 37:48
  it's
• 37:48
  already
• 37:49
  in
• 37:49
  the
• 37:49
  place,
• 37:49
  we'll
• 37:50
  get
• 37:50
  it.
• 37:50
  So
• 37:50
  that's
• 37:50
  swapping
• 37:51
  the
• 37:51
  air
• 37:51
  out.
• 37:51
  It's
• 37:51
  just
• 37:51
  going
• 37:52
  to
• 37:52
  be
• 37:52
  a
• 37:52
  conditioned
• 37:52
  space.
• 37:53
  But
• 37:53
  in
• 37:53
  my
• 37:53
  mind,
• 37:54
  I
• 37:54
  go,
• 37:54
  if
• 37:54
  you're
• 37:54
  not
• 37:54
  dealing
• 37:55
  with
• 37:55
  radon,
• 37:55
  you're
• 37:56
  just
• 37:56
  injecting
• 37:57
  that
• 37:57
  right
• 37:57
  into
• 37:58
  the
• 37:58
  freeway,
• 37:59
  into
• 37:59
  your
• 37:59
  house.
• 38:00
  If
• 38:00
  you're
• 38:01
  doing
• 38:01
  it
• 38:01
  that
• 38:01
  way,
• 38:02
  particularly.
• 38:03
  If
• 38:03
  you've
• 38:03
  got
• 38:04
  supplies
• 38:04
  and
• 38:05
  returns,
• 38:05
  if
• 38:05
  you've
• 38:06
  got
• 38:06
  a
• 38:06
  return
• 38:06
  in
• 38:06
  the
• 38:07
  crawl
• 38:07
  space
• 38:08
  and
• 38:08
  that
• 38:09
  return
• 38:09
  is
• 38:09
  leaky
• 38:10
  in
• 38:10
  any
• 38:10
  way,
• 38:11
  then
• 38:11
  every
• 38:11
  time
• 38:11
  it's
• 38:12
  drawing
• 38:12
  air
• 38:12
  back
• 38:12
  to
• 38:12
  the
• 38:13
  furnace,
• 38:13
  it's
• 38:13
  drawing
• 38:13
  air
• 38:14
  from
• 38:15
  the
• 38:15
  crawl
• 38:15
  space
• 38:16
  through
• 38:16
  whatever
• 38:17
  leaks
• 38:17
  in
• 38:18
  that
• 38:18
  ductwork.
• 38:19
  And
• 38:19
  so
• 38:19
  you
• 38:20
  could
• 38:20
  very
• 38:20
  well
• 38:20
  do
• 38:20
  that
• 38:21
  and
• 38:21
  see
• 38:21
  the
• 38:21
  radon
• 38:21
  concentrations
• 38:22
  go
• 38:22
  up
• 38:22
  in
• 38:22
  the
• 38:22
  living
• 38:23
  area.
• 38:23
  Yeah.
• 38:25
  For
• 38:25
  years
• 38:26
  I
• 38:26
  did
• 38:27
  training
• 38:27
  for
• 38:28
  energy
• 38:29
  efficiency
• 38:30
  and
• 38:30
  building
• 38:31
  performance
• 38:31
  and
• 38:32
  the
• 38:33
  saying
• 38:33
  that
• 38:33
  they
• 38:34
  start
• 38:34
  out
• 38:34
  in
• 38:35
  Building
• 38:35
  Performance
• 38:36
  101
• 38:36
  is
• 38:37
  the
• 38:37
  house
• 38:37
  is
• 38:37
  a
• 38:37
  system.
• 38:38
  Everything
• 38:40
  is
• 38:40
  interrelated.
• 38:41
  So
• 38:42
  you
• 38:42
  go
• 38:42
  in
• 38:42
  and
• 38:42
  do
• 38:42
  one
• 38:43
  thing,
• 38:43
  and
• 38:43
  if
• 38:44
  you're
• 38:44
  not
• 38:44
  thinking
• 38:44
  about
• 38:45
  what
• 38:45
  does
• 38:45
  this
• 38:45
  one
• 38:45
  thing
• 38:46
  do
• 38:46
  to
• 38:46
  the
• 38:46
  other
• 38:47
  systems
• 38:47
  in
• 38:47
  the
• 38:47
  house,
• 38:48
  then
• 38:49
  you
• 38:50
  could
• 38:50
  end
• 38:50
  up
• 38:50
  causing
• 38:51
  more
• 38:52
  problems
• 38:52
  than
• 38:52
  you're
• 38:52
  solving.
• 40:34
  So
• 40:34
  you
• 40:35
  have
• 40:35
  to
• 40:35
  think
• 40:35
  of
• 40:35
  the
• 40:36
  whole
• 38:55
  picture.
• 40:37
  And
• 40:37
  that's
• 40:37
  why
• 40:37
  they
• 40:37
  call
• 40:38
  it
• 40:38
  building
• 40:38
  science
• 40:39
  these
• 40:39
  days,
• 40:39
  because
• 40:39
  it
• 40:39
  is
• 40:40
  a
• 40:40
  science
• 40:40
  that
• 40:40
  is
• 40:41
  evolving.
• 40:41
  If
• 40:41
  you
• 40:42
  look
• 40:42
  how
• 40:42
  far
• 40:42
  we've
• 40:42
  come
• 40:43
  from
• 40:44
  1982
• 40:45
  with
• 40:46
  still
• 40:47
  using
• 40:47
  a
• 40:47
  lot
• 40:47
  of
• 40:47
  tar
• 40:48
  paper
• 40:48
  and
• 40:49
  siding,
• 40:49
  to
• 40:50
  all
• 40:51
  of
• 40:51
  these
• 40:51
  multi
• 40:52
  layers
• 40:52
  and
• 40:53
  rain
• 40:53
  screens
• 40:53
  and
• 40:54
  all
• 40:54
  the
• 40:54
  things
• 40:54
  that
• 40:54
  we
• 40:55
  put
• 40:55
  on
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  outside
• 40:55
  of
• 40:55
  the
• 40:56
  home
• 40:56
  and
• 40:56
  all
• 40:57
  the
• 40:57
  systems
• 40:57
  we
• 40:57
  put
• 40:58
  inside,
• 40:58
  it
• 40:58
  seemed
• 40:59
  like
• 40:59
  some
• 40:59
  of
• 40:59
  the
• 40:59
  most
• 40:59
  unhealthy
• 41:00
  homes
• 41:00
  we
• 41:00
  built
• 41:01
  were
• 41:01
  in
• 41:01
  the
• 41:01
  80s
• 41:01
  and
• 41:02
  90s
• 41:02
  when
• 41:02
  we
• 41:03
  started
• 41:03
  to
• 41:03
  get
• 41:03
  it,
• 41:03
  but
• 41:04
  didn't
• 41:04
  really
• 41:04
  understand
• 41:05
  that,
• 41:05
  like
• 41:05
  you
• 41:06
  just
• 41:06
  said,
• 41:06
  that
• 41:06
  cause
• 41:07
  and
• 41:07
  effect.
• 41:08
  And
• 41:08
  now
• 41:08
  we're
• 41:09
  just
• 41:09
  starting
• 41:09
  to
• 41:09
  get
• 41:10
  that
• 41:10
  ship
• 41:10
  righted
• 41:10
  again
• 41:11
  with
• 41:11
  these
• 41:11
  new
• 41:11
  homes.
• 41:12
  Yes,
• 41:13
  yes.
• 41:14
  Hopefully,
• 41:14
  as
• 41:15
  we
• 41:15
  move
• 41:15
  forward,
• 41:16
  communities
• 41:16
  are
• 41:17
  beginning
• 41:17
  to
• 41:17
  take
• 41:17
  radon
• 41:18
  more
• 41:18
  seriously.
• 41:19
  There
• 41:19
  are
• 41:20
  jurisdictions
• 41:20
  where
• 41:21
  they
• 41:21
  are
• 41:21
  requiring
• 41:23
  builders
• 41:23
  to
• 41:23
  put
• 41:24
  in
• 41:25
  resistant
• 41:26
  new
• 41:26
  construction
• 41:27
  for
• 41:27
  radon.
• 41:28
  But
• 41:28
  there's
• 41:29
  still
• 41:29
  a
• 41:29
  lot
• 41:29
  of
• 41:29
  education
• 41:30
  to
• 41:30
  do.
• 41:30
  The
• 41:30
  good
• 41:31
  news
• 41:31
  is
• 41:32
  also
• 41:32
  we
• 41:33
  have
• 41:33
  the
• 41:33
  ability
• 41:33
  now
• 41:34
  to
• 41:34
  monitor
• 41:34
  our
• 41:35
  homes
• 41:35
  affordably.
• 41:36
  You
• 41:36
  can
• 41:36
  go
• 41:37
  to
• 41:37
  our
• 41:38
  website
• 41:38
  or
• 41:38
  to
• 41:39
  Amazon
• 41:39
  and
• 41:40
  you
• 41:40
  can
• 41:40
  find
• 41:41
  radon
• 41:41
  monitors
• 41:42
  that
• 41:42
  you
• 41:43
  can
• 41:43
  purchase
• 41:43
  and
• 41:44
  track
• 41:44
  the
• 41:44
  radon
• 41:44
  in
• 41:45
  your
• 41:45
  home
• 41:45
  and
• 41:46
  keep
• 41:46
  an
• 41:46
  eye
• 41:46
  on
• 41:46
  it.
• 41:47
  They're
• 41:47
  good
• 41:48
  to
• 41:48
  have
• 41:48
  because
• 41:49
  not
• 41:49
  only
• 41:50
  can
• 41:50
  they
• 41:50
  give
• 41:50
  you
• 41:50
  peace
• 41:50
  of
• 41:51
  mind,
• 41:51
  that
• 41:51
  can
• 41:51
  certainly
• 41:52
  alert
• 41:52
  you
• 41:53
  to
• 41:53
  what's
• 41:54
  happening.
• 41:54
  I
• 41:55
  had
• 41:55
  a
• 41:55
  conversation
• 41:55
  with
• 41:55
  a
• 41:56
  homeowner
• 41:56
  in
• 41:56
  Utah
• 41:57
  when
• 41:58
  it
• 41:58
  first
• 41:59
  turned
• 41:59
  cold
• 41:59
  weather
• 42:00
  this
• 42:00
  fall,
• 42:01
  and
• 42:02
  she
• 42:02
  had
• 42:03
  a
• 42:03
  radon
• 42:04
  test
• 42:04
  done
• 42:05
  when
• 42:05
  she
• 42:05
  purchased
• 42:06
  the
• 42:06
  home.
• 42:07
  And
• 42:08
  the
• 42:08
  concentrations
• 42:09
  were
• 42:09
  just
• 42:09
  under
• 42:10
  4.
• 42:11
  So
• 42:11
  it
• 42:11
  was
• 42:11
  about
• 42:11
  3.7,
• 42:12
  something
• 42:13
  like
• 42:13
  that.
• 42:14
  But
• 42:14
  she
• 42:14
  purchased
• 42:15
  one
• 42:15
  of
• 42:15
  our
• 42:16
  continuous
• 42:17
  monitors,
• 42:18
  and
• 42:18
  she
• 42:18
  was
• 42:19
  watching
• 42:19
  it
• 42:20
  go
• 42:20
  up
• 42:21
  every
• 42:21
  night
• 42:22
  after
• 42:22
  she
• 42:22
  started
• 42:22
  to
• 42:23
  use
• 42:23
  the
• 42:23
  heat.
• 42:24
  And
• 42:24
  it
• 42:24
  would
• 42:24
  get
• 42:24
  up
• 42:25
  to
• 42:25
  about
• 42:25
  9
• 42:26
  cures
• 42:27
  per
• 42:27
  liter
• 42:27
  at
• 42:27
  night.
• 42:28
  And
• 42:28
  then
• 42:29
  in
• 42:29
  the
• 42:30
  day,
• 42:30
  she
• 42:30
  would
• 42:30
  go
• 42:31
  to
• 42:31
  work
• 42:31
  and
• 42:31
  it
• 42:31
  would
• 42:32
  go
• 42:32
  on
• 42:32
  economizer
• 42:33
  setback,
• 42:34
  and
• 42:34
  it
• 42:34
  would
• 42:35
  fall
• 42:35
  down
• 42:35
  to
• 42:35
  around
• 42:36
  two
• 42:36
  and
• 42:37
  stay
• 42:37
  low
• 42:37
  until
• 42:38
  she
• 42:38
  came
• 42:38
  home.
• 42:38
  And
• 42:39
  when
• 42:39
  the
• 42:39
  heat
• 42:40
  would
• 42:40
  start
• 42:40
  to
• 42:40
  run
• 42:40
  after
• 42:41
  she
• 42:41
  came
• 42:41
  home,
• 42:41
  it
• 42:41
  would
• 42:42
  rise
• 42:42
  up.
• 42:43
  So
• 42:43
  she
• 42:43
  showed
• 42:44
  this.
• 42:44
  This
• 42:44
  sent
• 42:45
  me
• 42:45
  the
• 42:45
  data
• 42:45
  from
• 42:45
  her
• 42:46
  monitor,
• 42:46
  and
• 42:46
  it
• 42:47
  was
• 42:47
  just
• 42:47
  every
• 42:48
  night.
• 42:48
  And
• 42:49
  so
• 42:49
  her
• 42:49
  average
• 42:50
  could
• 42:50
  very
• 42:50
  well
• 42:51
  have
• 42:51
  been
• 42:51
  just
• 42:51
  under
• 42:52
  four.
• 42:52
  But
• 42:53
  when
• 42:53
  it
• 42:53
  was
• 42:54
  low,
• 42:54
  she
• 42:55
  was
• 42:55
  at
• 42:55
  work.
• 42:56
  Yeah,
• 42:56
  when
• 42:56
  it
• 42:56
  was
• 42:56
  high,
• 42:57
  she
• 42:57
  was
• 42:57
  home
• 42:57
  sleeping
• 42:58
  in
• 42:58
  her
• 42:58
  bed.
• 42:58
  She
• 42:59
  was
• 42:59
  on
• 42:59
  the
• 42:59
  wrong
• 43:00
  side
• 43:00
  of
• 43:00
  that
• 43:00
  average.
• 43:01
  Oh,
• 43:01
  exactly.
• 43:02
  Okay,
• 43:03
  so
• 43:03
  I'm
• 43:03
  gonna
• 43:03
  go
• 43:03
  to
• 43:03
  get
• 43:03
  eight
• 43:03
  hours
• 43:04
  sleep,
• 43:04
  and
• 43:04
  I'm
• 43:04
  gonna
• 43:04
  have
• 43:05
  eight
• 43:05
  hours
• 43:05
  nine
• 43:05
  then.
• 43:06
  And
• 43:06
  when
• 43:07
  I
• 43:07
  brush
• 43:07
  my
• 43:07
  teeth
• 43:07
  in
• 43:08
  the
• 43:08
  morning
• 43:08
  and
• 43:08
  jump
• 43:08
  in
• 43:08
  the
• 43:08
  car,
• 43:09
  it's
• 43:09
  at
• 43:09
  2.
• 43:10
  Yeah,
• 43:11
  that's
• 43:11
  not
• 43:11
  good.
• 43:12
  That's
• 43:12
  not
• 43:12
  good.
• 43:13
  So
• 43:13
  guess
• 43:13
  what
• 43:13
  I'm
• 43:14
  doing
• 43:14
  after
• 43:14
  this
• 43:15
  episode
• 43:15
  here?
• 43:15
  I'm
• 43:15
  going
• 43:16
  to
• 43:16
  jump
• 43:16
  on
• 43:16
  and
• 43:17
  get
• 43:17
  some.
• 43:17
  Because,
• 43:18
  full
• 43:18
  honesty,
• 43:18
  guys.
• 43:18
  I
• 43:19
  have
• 43:19
  air
• 43:19
  quality
• 43:19
  monitors
• 43:20
  in
• 43:20
  my
• 43:20
  ass.
• 43:20
  I
• 43:20
  can
• 43:20
  tell
• 43:20
  you
• 43:20
  what
• 43:21
  my
• 43:21
  PM
• 43:21
  2.5
• 43:22
  is.
• 43:22
  I
• 43:22
  can
• 43:23
  tell
• 43:23
  you
• 43:23
  what
• 43:23
  my
• 43:23
  humidity
• 43:24
  is
• 43:24
  and
• 43:24
  what
• 43:25
  all
• 43:25
  this
• 43:25
  other
• 43:25
  stuff
• 43:26
  is.
• 43:26
  Carbon
• 43:26
  dioxide.
• 43:27
  All
• 43:28
  so
• 43:28
  radon.
• 43:29
  So
• 43:29
  I
• 43:29
  gotta
• 43:29
  fix
• 43:29
  that.
• 43:30
  There's
• 43:30
  my.
• 43:30
  There's
• 43:31
  my
• 43:31
  hole
• 43:31
  in
• 43:31
  the
• 43:31
  shield
• 43:32
  right
• 43:32
  now
• 43:32
  that
• 43:32
  I
• 43:32
  need
• 43:32
  to
• 43:32
  take
• 43:33
  a
• 43:33
  look
• 43:33
  at.
• 43:33
  And
• 43:33
  I
• 43:33
  don't
• 43:34
  have
• 43:34
  a
• 43:34
  system
• 43:34
  in
• 43:34
  my
• 43:34
  house
• 43:34
  because
• 43:35
  we
• 43:35
  were
• 43:35
  under
• 43:35
  two
• 43:36
  when
• 43:36
  I
• 43:36
  did
• 43:36
  mine.
• 43:37
  So
• 43:37
  I
• 43:37
  went,
• 43:37
  all
• 43:38
  right,
• 43:38
  that
• 43:38
  was
• 43:38
  pretty
• 43:39
  good.
• 43:39
  But
• 43:40
  I
• 43:40
  look
• 43:40
  out
• 43:41
  every
• 43:41
  day
• 43:41
  when
• 43:41
  I
• 43:41
  walk
• 43:41
  out
• 43:42
  the
• 43:42
  door,
• 43:42
  I
• 43:42
  look
• 43:42
  at
• 43:42
  my
• 43:42
  neighbor's
• 43:43
  system
• 43:43
  on
• 43:44
  the
• 43:44
  side
• 43:44
  of
• 43:44
  their
• 43:44
  house.
• 43:44
  So
• 43:44
  it's
• 43:45
  to
• 43:45
  pay
• 43:45
  attention
• 43:46
  to
• 43:46
  that.
• 43:46
  Need
• 43:47
  to
• 43:47
  pay
• 43:47
  attention
• 43:47
  to
• 43:47
  that.
• 43:48
  So
• 43:48
  if
• 43:48
  people
• 43:49
  don't
• 43:49
  want
• 43:49
  to
• 43:49
  put
• 43:50
  their
• 43:50
  own
• 43:50
  monitors
• 43:50
  in,
• 43:51
  they're
• 43:51
  just
• 43:51
  like,
• 43:52
  hey,
• 43:52
  I
• 43:52
  want
• 43:52
  to
• 43:52
  have
• 43:52
  a
• 43:52
  pro
• 43:52
  do
• 43:53
  it.
• 43:53
  And
• 43:53
  I'm
• 43:53
  going
• 43:53
  to
• 43:53
  forget
• 43:53
  about
• 43:54
  it
• 43:54
  because
• 43:54
  I'm
• 43:55
  not
• 43:55
  a
• 43:55
  techie
• 43:56
  person.
• 43:56
  When
• 43:57
  should
• 43:57
  they
• 43:57
  be?
• 43:58
  How
• 43:58
  often
• 43:58
  should
• 43:58
  they
• 43:59
  be
• 43:59
  retesting
• 44:00
  to
• 44:00
  make
• 44:00
  sure
• 44:00
  Whether
• 44:01
  they
• 44:01
  have
• 44:01
  a
• 44:01
  system
• 44:01
  or
• 44:02
  not,
• 44:02
  what
• 44:02
  would
• 44:02
  you
• 44:02

  The
• 44:04
  EPA
• 44:04
  says
• 44:05
  that
• 44:06
  if
• 44:07
  you
• 44:07
  tested
• 44:08
  and
• 44:08
  it
• 44:08
  was
• 44:08
  below
• 44:09
  the
• 44:10
  action
• 44:10
  level,
• 44:11
  you
• 44:11
  should
• 44:12
  retest
• 44:13
  every
• 44:14
  five
• 44:14
  years.
• 44:15
  Now
• 44:16
  if
• 44:16
  you
• 44:16
  have
• 44:16
  a
• 44:17
  mitigation
• 44:17
  system,
• 44:18
  they
• 44:18
  say
• 44:18
  you
• 44:18
  should
• 44:19
  retest
• 44:20
  every
• 44:21
  two
• 44:21
  years.
• 44:22
  That
• 44:22
  said,
• 44:23
  when
• 44:23
  that
• 44:23
  recommendation
• 44:24
  was
• 44:24
  made,
• 44:25
  the
• 44:26
  only
• 44:26
  logical
• 44:27
  way
• 44:27
  for
• 44:28
  a
• 44:28
  homeowner
• 44:28
  to
• 44:28
  test
• 44:29
  or
• 44:29
  affordable
• 44:29
  way
• 44:29
  for
• 44:30
  a
• 44:30
  homeowner
• 44:30
  to
• 44:30
  test
• 44:31
  would
• 44:31
  be
• 44:31
  with
• 44:31
  a
• 44:31
  passive
• 44:32
  time
• 44:32
  integrating
• 44:32
  device
• 44:33
  like
• 44:33
  a
• 44:33
  charcoal
• 44:34
  canister,
• 44:35
  perhaps
• 44:35
  an
• 44:35
  alpha
• 44:35
  track
• 44:36
  device
• 44:36
  that
• 44:36
  they
• 44:37
  could
• 44:37
  leave
• 44:37
  out
• 44:37
  for
• 44:38
  you
• 44:38
  know,
• 44:38
  three
• 44:38
  months
• 44:39
  or
• 44:39
  more.
• 44:40
  But
• 44:40
  they
• 44:40
  just
• 44:40
  give
• 44:41
  you
• 44:41
  a
• 44:41
  one
• 44:41
  number
• 44:41
  average.
• 44:42
  They're
• 44:42
  not
• 44:42
  going
• 44:42
  to
• 44:42
  give
• 44:42
  you
• 44:43
  the
• 44:43
  ups
• 44:43
  and
• 44:43
  downs
• 44:44
  that
• 44:44
  I
• 44:44
  just
• 44:44
  described.
• 44:45
  They're
• 44:46
  so
• 44:46
  affordable.
• 44:46
  For
• 44:47
  example,
• 44:47
  we've
• 44:47
  got
• 44:48
  units
• 44:48
  that
• 44:49
  you
• 44:49
  can
• 44:49
  purchase
• 44:49
  that
• 44:50
  you
• 44:50
  can
• 44:50
  track
• 44:51
  hourly
• 44:51
  data
• 44:52
  as
• 44:52
  well
• 44:52
  as
• 44:53
  the
• 44:53
  day,
• 44:53
  week,
• 44:53
  month
• 44:53
  and
• 44:54
  the
• 44:54
  year
• 44:55
  and
• 44:55
  they're
• 44:56
  50
• 44:56
  bucks.
• 44:57
  Oh
• 44:57
  wow.
• 44:57
  So
• 44:57
  it's
• 44:58
  cheaper
• 44:58
  than
• 44:58
  having
• 44:58
  somebody
• 44:59
  come
• 44:59
  out
• 44:59
  and
• 44:59
  do
• 44:59
  it.
• 44:59
  You
• 44:59
  can
• 44:59
  buy
• 45:00
  the
• 45:00
  machine
• 45:00
  and
• 45:00
  just
• 45:01
  leave
• 45:01
  it
• 45:01
  there
• 45:02
  so
• 45:02
  you
• 45:02
  don't
• 45:02
  even
• 45:02
  have
• 45:03
  to
• 45:03
  have
• 45:03
  the
• 45:03
  pro
• 45:03
  come
• 45:04
  out
• 45:04
  and
• 45:04
  do
• 45:04
  it
• 45:05
  and
• 45:05
  take
• 45:05
  that
• 45:05
  snapshot.
• 45:06
  So
• 45:06
  wow,
• 45:07
  that's
• 45:07
  a
• 45:07
  no
• 45:07
  brainer
• 45:08
  to
• 45:08
  me.
• 45:09
  Exactly.
• 45:10
  And
• 45:10
  guys,
• 45:10
  I
• 45:10
  want
• 45:10
  to
• 45:11
  warn
• 45:11
  something
• 45:11
  here
• 45:11
  too
• 45:12
  and
• 45:12
  I'm
• 45:12
  going
• 45:12
  to,
• 45:12
  I'm
• 45:12
  going
• 45:12
  to,
• 45:13
  I'm
• 45:13
  going
• 45:13
  to
• 45:13
  put
• 45:13
  my
• 45:13
  flag
• 45:14
  on
• 45:14
  this
• 45:14
  one.
• 45:15
  Be
• 45:15
  careful
• 45:16
  what
• 45:16
  you
• 45:16
  buy
• 45:16
  on
• 45:17
  Amazon
• 45:18
  because
• 45:19
  oh
• 45:19
  my
• 45:20
  gosh,
• 45:21
  I
• 45:21
  tell
• 45:21
  you
• 45:21
  what,
• 45:22
  I
• 45:22
  did
• 45:22
  a,
• 45:23
  for
• 45:23
  my
• 45:23
  TV
• 45:23
  show
• 45:24
  I
• 45:24
  did
• 45:24
  a,
• 45:25
  I
• 45:25
  did
• 45:25
  a
• 45:25
  thing
• 45:25
  called
• 45:26
  let's
• 45:26
  Test
• 45:26
  it.
• 45:27
  So
• 45:27
  I
• 45:27
  jumped
• 45:28
  on,
• 45:28
  I
• 45:28
  went,
• 45:28
  I'm
• 45:28
  gonna
• 45:29
  buy
• 45:29
  a
• 45:30
  portable
• 45:30
  carbon
• 45:31
  monoxide
• 45:32
  detector.
• 45:33
  And
• 45:33
  I
• 45:33
  went
• 45:33
  around
• 45:34
  and
• 45:35
  said
• 45:35
  okay,
• 45:35
  wow.000.
• 45:37
  I
• 45:38
  went
• 45:38
  in
• 45:38
  front
• 45:38
  of
• 45:39
  my
• 45:39
  diesel
• 45:40
  SUV
• 45:41
  and
• 45:42
  held
• 45:42
  it
• 45:42
  in
• 45:43
  front
• 45:44
  of
• 45:44
  the
• 45:44
  exhaust
• 45:45
  on
• 45:45
  it
• 45:45
  and
• 45:46
  it
• 45:46
  showed
• 45:47
  zero.
• 45:48
  And
• 45:48
  I'm
• 45:48
  like
• 45:49
  that's
• 45:50
  broken.
• 45:51
  Yes,
• 45:52
  that's
• 45:52
  a
• 45:52
  very
• 45:52
  good
• 45:53
  point
• 45:53
  Eric.
• 45:54
  Unfortunately,
• 45:54
  with
• 45:55
  our
• 45:56
  company
• 45:56
  we
• 45:56
  make
• 45:57
  professional
• 45:57
  devices
• 45:58
  and
• 45:58
  homeowner
• 45:58
  devices
• 45:59
  that
• 45:59
  are
• 46:00
  evaluated
• 46:01
  and
• 46:03
  I'm
• 46:03
  proud
• 46:03
  of
• 46:03
  the
• 46:04
  products
• 46:04
  we
• 46:04
  sell.
• 46:04
  But
• 46:05
  there
• 46:05
  are
• 46:05
  units
• 46:06
  that
• 46:06
  have
• 46:06
  been
• 46:07
  copied
• 46:07
  in
• 46:07
  China
• 46:08
  that
• 46:08
  look
• 46:09
  very
• 46:09
  similar
• 46:10
  to
• 46:10
  ours
• 46:11
  and
• 46:12
  we're
• 46:12
  not
• 46:12
  the
• 46:12
  only
• 46:13
  reputable
• 46:14
  company
• 46:14
  out,
• 46:14
  but
• 46:14
  there's
• 46:15
  some
• 46:15
  out
• 46:15
  out
• 46:16
  there
• 46:16
  that
• 46:16
  you
• 46:16
  could,
• 46:17
  you
• 46:17
  could,
• 46:17
  you
• 46:18
  could
• 46:18
  purchase
• 46:18
  and
• 46:19
  they
• 46:19
  haven't
• 46:20
  been
• 46:20
  evaluated.
• 46:21
  They
• 46:22
  may
• 46:22
  have
• 46:22
  reverse
• 46:22
  engineered
• 46:23
  something
• 46:23
  but
• 46:24
  they've
• 46:24
  missed
• 46:24
  some
• 46:25
  really
• 46:25
  key
• 46:26
  components
• 46:26
  or
• 46:27
  factors
• 46:27
  that
• 46:28
  make
• 46:28
  a
• 46:28
  difference
• 46:29
  and
• 46:30
  there's
• 46:30
  no
• 46:30
  regulation
• 46:31
  on
• 46:31
  them.
• 46:32
  So
• 46:33
  yes,
• 46:33
  you
• 46:33
  do
• 46:33
  need
• 46:33
  to
• 46:34
  be
• 46:34
  careful
• 46:35
  there.
• 46:35
  Every
• 46:36
  good
• 46:36
  product
• 46:36
  that
• 46:36
  I
• 46:37
  have
• 46:37
  tested
• 46:37
  out
• 46:37
  there,
• 46:37
  that
• 46:38
  was
• 46:38
  the
• 46:38
  first
• 46:38
  one.
• 46:39
  Whether
• 46:39
  it's
• 46:40
  a
• 46:40
  vise,
• 46:40
  whether
• 46:40
  it's
• 46:41
  a
• 46:41
  knife
• 46:41
  sharpening
• 46:42
  tool
• 46:42
  and
• 46:43
  if
• 46:43
  it's
• 46:43
  200
• 46:44
  bucks
• 46:44
  for
• 46:45
  that
• 46:45
  thing.
• 46:46
  If
• 46:46
  you
• 46:46
  jump
• 46:46
  over
• 46:47
  six
• 46:47
  months
• 46:47
  later
• 46:47
  on
• 46:48
  Amazon,
• 46:48
  there
• 46:48
  is
• 46:48
  an
• 46:49
  exact
• 46:49
  copy
• 46:50
  of
• 46:50
  it
• 46:50
  for
• 46:51
  39.99.
• 46:52
  And
• 46:52
  I
• 46:52
  know
• 46:53
  the
• 46:53
  owners
• 46:53
  of
• 46:53
  these
• 46:54
  things
• 46:54
  because
• 46:54
  they
• 46:54
  were
• 46:54
  the
• 46:54
  inventors
• 46:55
  that
• 46:55
  came
• 46:55
  on
• 46:56
  my
• 46:56
  show,
• 46:57
  and
• 46:57
  the
• 46:57
  raw
• 46:58
  materials
• 46:58
  to
• 46:58
  make
• 46:59
  it
• 46:59
  were
• 47:00
  twice
• 47:01
  what
• 47:01
  they're
• 47:01
  selling
• 47:01
  it
• 47:01
  for,
• 47:02
  which
• 47:02
  tells
• 47:02
  you
• 47:03
  someone's
• 47:04
  still
• 47:04
  got
• 47:04
  to
• 47:04
  make
• 47:04
  money.
• 47:05
  So
• 47:05
  it's
• 47:05
  not
• 47:05
  the
• 47:06
  same.
• 47:06
  So
• 47:07
  very
• 47:07
  careful.
• 47:08
  That
• 47:08
  is.
• 47:09
  That
• 47:09
  is
• 47:09
  like
• 47:09
  going
• 47:10
  into
• 47:10
  the
• 47:10
  swap
• 47:11
  meet
• 47:11
  and
• 47:11
  buying
• 47:11
  knockoff
• 47:12
  clothing
• 47:12
  parts
• 47:13
  there.
• 47:13
  It's.
• 47:14
  You
• 47:14
  got
• 47:14
  to
• 47:14
  be
• 47:14
  really
• 47:15
  careful
• 47:15
  what
• 47:15
  you
• 47:15
  buy.
• 47:16
  Yes,
• 47:17
  exactly.
• 47:18
  So,
• 47:18
  Dallas,
• 47:18
  what
• 47:18
  have
• 47:19
  we
• 47:19
  missed
• 47:19
  today?
• 47:19
  I
• 47:19
  know
• 47:19
  we
• 47:19
  got
• 47:20
  to
• 47:20
  wrap
• 47:20
  up.
• 47:20
  We
• 47:21
  have
• 47:21
  burned
• 47:22
  through
• 47:22
  an
• 47:22
  hour
• 47:23
  of
• 47:23
  the
• 47:23
  show
• 47:23
  here.
• 47:24
  What
• 47:24
  did
• 47:24
  we
• 47:24
  miss?
• 47:25
  And,
• 47:25
  of
• 47:25
  course,
• 47:26
  we
• 47:26
  want
• 47:26
  to
• 47:26
  make
• 47:26
  sure
• 47:26
  to
• 47:27
  how
• 47:27
  to
• 47:27
  find
• 47:27
  you,
• 47:28
  because
• 47:28
  there's
• 47:28
  a
• 47:28
  lot
• 47:28
  of
• 47:28
  people
• 47:29
  out
• 47:29
  there
• 47:29
  that
• 47:29
  probably
• 47:30
  want
• 47:30
  to
• 47:30
  buy
• 47:30
  some
• 47:30
  of
• 47:30
  these
• 47:31
  so
• 47:31
  they
• 47:31
  can
• 47:32
  be
• 47:32
  watching
• 47:32
  their
• 47:32
  own
• 47:32
  home.
• 47:33
  I
• 47:33
  think
• 47:33
  the
• 47:34
  important
• 47:34
  thing
• 47:34
  is
• 47:35
  remember
• 47:35
  that
• 47:36
  radon
• 47:37
  is
• 47:37
  a
• 47:38
  radioactive
• 47:39
  gas.
• 47:40
  It's
• 47:40
  real.
• 47:41
  It's
• 47:41
  important
• 47:42
  to
• 47:42
  pay
• 47:42
  attention
• 47:43
  to
• 47:43
  it.
• 47:43
  I
• 47:44
  say
• 47:44
  it's
• 47:44
  also
• 47:44
  important
• 47:45
  to
• 47:45
  keep
• 47:45
  an
• 47:45
  eye
• 47:45
  on
• 47:45
  it
• 47:47
  rather
• 47:47
  than
• 47:47
  just
• 47:47
  test
• 47:48
  once
• 47:48
  and
• 47:48
  then
• 47:48
  think
• 47:49
  you're
• 47:49
  done.
• 47:50
  That
• 47:50
  would
• 47:50
  be
• 47:51
  the
• 47:52
  key
• 47:52
  messages
• 47:52
  I
• 47:53
  would
• 47:53
  like
• 47:53
  to
• 47:54
  make
• 47:54
  sure
• 47:54
  your
• 47:55
  listeners
• 47:55
  are
• 47:56
  taking
• 47:56
  away.

  radon,
• 48:23
  you'll
• 48:23
  learn,
• 48:24
  really,
• 48:24
  the
• 48:24
  kinds
• 48:25
  of
• 48:25
  things,
• 48:25
  your
• 48:25
  activities
• 48:26
  and
• 48:27
  times
• 48:27
  of
• 48:27
  year
• 48:27
  and
• 48:28
  what
• 48:28
  kind
• 48:28
  of
• 48:29
  things
• 48:29
  will
• 48:29
  cause
• 48:29
  your
• 48:30
  radon
• 48:30
  to
• 48:30
  go
• 48:30
  up
• 48:31
  and
• 48:31
  cause
• 48:31
  it
• 48:31
  to
• 48:31
  go
• 48:31
  down,
• 48:32
  and

  you'll
• 48:32
  have
• 48:32
  a
• 48:32
  much
• 48:33
  better
• 48:33
  understanding
• 48:34
  as
• 48:34
  to
• 48:34
  whether

  need

  to

  take

  action

  more
• 48:36
  comfortable
• 48:37
  taking

  can

  feel

  good

  your

  concern

  It's.

  Lung

  ugly.
• 48:46
  Yeah.

  That's
• 48:47
  the
• 48:47
  cheapest
• 48:47
  insurance
• 48:48
  against
• 48:48
  that
• 48:49
  type
• 48:49
  of
• 48:49
  lung
• 48:49
  cancer

  150
• 48:51
  bucks.
• 48:51
  Come

• 48:52
  Absolutely.
• 48:53
  That

  is
• 48:53
  awesome.
