Description
It is well known the mechanism by which radon exposure increases the potential of lung cancer is alpha release from the short-lived decay products of radon and the amount of these decay products available for respiration can vary due to air circulation rates, particulate levels, etc. This course explores from a practical standpoint how radon decay products are measured and how RDP reduction can enhance soil gas remediation by reducing radon risks to very low levels.
This course was presented at the request of the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists at its Annual Meeting in Banff, Alberta on April 23, 2017. Although provided to a Canadian audience it has application for radon professionals around the world.

Course was easy to navigate. Material, although highly technical, was presented in a manner that was easy to understand.

This was a nice reminder about Rn decay products. We do get focussed on the radon itself, but understanding how to decrease health risks by managing RDPS can be a very helpful technique.
John Ainsley Marshall –
Excellent, learned a lot about RDP’s that I didn’t know.
CERTI Student –
Quality was good

Course was easy to follow and provided ample materials to follow along with. I liked having the course guide open to reference while watching the video materials.
Jody –
Good information for large buildings, thank you.
Wade Aldrich –
Great topic for professional testers and mitigators
Chester –
Good refresher course. Well laid out and easy to follow.
Vicki –
Good content.
Kimberley –
Fantastic! In this course, Doug teaches material that you won’t learn anywhere else.
Michael –
This course was excellent and gives the mitigator other options to look at in difficult houses, also reminds us to look at radon as its decay products and not just a soil gas.
Cory –
I really liked the presentation, good insight and examples.
Gene –
Course was very well presented.
Mark –
I am always learning. thank you all for teaching me new things about radon. it will bless my business and my family! thanks again.

The Course Material were excellent training for understanding Radon Decay! The quiz was relevant to the questions! Thanks for the education, the course gets better every time and very informational.
Todd –
Very good technical course and well structured from start to finish. Did an excellent job providing the information in a way that makes it easy to grasp. Thought the quiz was challenging, but suited the content of the class well. Definitely have to understand the course material/presentation in order to pass the quiz.

Good intro course for RDPs. Basic but use a few equations.
Kenny –
Awesome course! I didn’t realize how much air movement and filtering would help. It appears that air movement causes more plating out and filtering captures some of what hasn’t plated out.The info is as the course topic suggest, Another Tool in the Tool Box. I cant keep up with Doug and his math conversions to WL since we rarely use it here in the US. I’m going to start paying more attention to these issues while doing Building Investigation and suggestions for repairs.
John –
very good
Eric –
Interesting content and the dose of radiation actually exposed to.

Good Course
John –
Excellent course.
Jeffrey –
Informative and succinct
Michael –
Mr. Kladder is always informative and his presentations are easily understood.
Brian –
This course was well documented and helpful toward my working knowledge in the professional radon field.
Lisa –
Great teacher! Really appreciate the extra material and the explanations provided for each quiz question. More quiz questions would even be better!
Dennis –
Excellent course.
Vickie –
I’m so glad that I took this class! Doug Kladder describes radon decay products in a way that I understood it so much better than I did before! I now understand working levels, and how the products attach to dust…and how air filtration and air movement can affect the RDPs.

I enjoyed the course because when I put the time and money into taking one, I want to learn something. It was both informative and thought provoking. As you said…another tool for the tool box.
Matthew –
Very informative, Speakers of course well spoken and I definately felt prepared for the course quiz

Once again… Thank You Doug for recommending this course.
This was probably the most enlightening and behind the scenes look at understanding the overall Health risk of Radon and the most in depth description of what exactly is going on and how to reduce the risk and mitigate the problem….Thank you!
Anthony –
Very Interesting. I’ve been testing for radon for eight years now and I definitely learned something from this course and would recommend it to others.
