EPA,s Radon Program



One reason that EPA seems to take pride in its radon control program is that because of the
natural origens of radon, nobody can accuse them of industry-bashing. To be consistent with their efforts at controlling elevated levels of natural radiation, their 15 mrem/a dose limit for decontamination, and 4.0 mrem/a DW standard, perhaps they should consider evacuating Colorado and other high background radiation areas. Seems to me that doses elevated >100mrem/a above those in sea-level states ought to be considered excessive and not be allowed.
