Ireland has two major regions where the threat of radon gas rates the highest. The southeastern coastal areas around Leinster and Munster also have higher levels of radon penetration. This does not mean that other areas are in the clear.
Most of Ireland has five per cent or more structures that potentially have dangerous levels of the gas. Almost no part of the country experiences no threat from the gas. Radon gas and other hazardous materials are regulated under the Safety, Health, and Welfare at Work Act of Employers have the responsibility and obligation to test for elevated and unsafe levels of radon and other substances. In early , the government reduced the legally acceptable level of radon gas in a workplace structure from becquerels per cubic metre to One becquerel equals a single radioactive decay per second.
The government suggests that consistent exposure to becquerels per cubic metre serves as a danger to health and safety. Workplaces that have levels above must implement mitigation procedures to bring radon levels back below legally acceptable rates. In all cases where the government requires radon gas reporting, the EPA provides a template to follow.
The EPA requires radon measurement and remediation service providers to register with the government. A contractor who specialises in radon remediation gives property owners the best chance to make their structure both safer and legally compliant.
The best fix for radon comes from having a contractor install a radon control or removal system. Passive measures block radon from entering the structure. This includes tracking down points of entry and sealing them off. Active measures, including pumps, will provide an effective way of removing the threat. The best way to mitigate radon gas contamination, however, lies in building a radon-proof building from the start. Install a gas permeable aggregate topped with plastic sheeting to stop the flow of radon gas into the structure.
Make sure that all cracks and other openings are well sealed. Finally, install a three to four-inch gas-tight pipe from underneath the structure to the outside, creating a natural vent for the gas.
A vent fan can turn it into an even more effective removal device, actively drawing the gas from inside to outside. Start the process of protecting yourself and, if an employer, complying with the law, by testing as soon as possible.
