Subject: 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.
