COVID-19 Resources

AARST and the National Radon Proficiency Program are always here for you. 

Like many other small businesses and organizations facing the impact of COVID19 , AARST is furloughing most of the staff through July.  I regret the need to take this action and look forward to our return to a full staff complement. 

As a result, our response times for returning calls and emails, processing certification applications and renewals, and mailing ID cards and store orders will take longer than usual. We apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience as remaining staff take on additional duties.

To inquire about taking an NRPP exam during COVID19, please send an email to exams@nrpp.info.
