The Canadian landscape is prone to high radon levels due to our weather, geology and tight building envelopes. In 2007 Health Canada reduced our radon guidance level, which sparked the initiation of a new industry focused on providing radon services. Since that time, the radon industry in Canada has had to learn, grow and adapt in order to develop an approach to successfully manage radon in our buildings.
This presentation will touch on unique aspects of the Canadian radon industry including new research on radon devices, techniques for radon control in new construction and reduction in existing buildings and a comprehensive training and certification program to support those initiatives.
