EARTH Study Updates
In June 2021, the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice published Evaluating and Assessing Radon Testing in Multifamily Housing.
This peer-reviewed article describes the EARTH study, which was funded by HUD’s Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes to determine what is the protective multifamily ground contact unit radon testing protocol given the inconsistency among Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan policy (10%), HUD FHA policy (25% until December 2020) and the ANSI-AARST MAMF standard (test each GC unit or 100%). The study found that, to achieve 95% confidence that no units in the building have radon ≥ 4pCi/L in buildings up to 20 ground contact units, 100% sampling is required.
Watch AARST’s explainer video – and please share it with others.
Hear a more detailed report from Principal Investigator Mike Kitto at the Symposium in October.
