3 Survey Date: 3/6/17 to 3/10/17 page 3 of 22 Section 1.0 Basics of and Health Impacts is recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as well as the scientific and medical communities as a Class A carcinogen, accounting for 15,000 22,000 lung cancer deaths annually. to radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas which comes from the soil. It can t be seen, smelled or tasted. The only way to know if the level of radon gas in your building exceeds the recommended Action of 4.0 pci/l is to test. The Department of Nuclear Safety in Illinois requires those testing for radon in commercial buildings, schools and multi-family housing communities, as well as individual residences, to be properly licensed. The amount of radon in the soil depends on soil chemistry, which naturally varies. levels in the soil can range from a few hundred to several thousands of pci/l (pico Curies per liter of air). The amount of radon that escapes from the soil and enters the building depends on the weather, soil porosity, soil moisture, and the suction within the building. is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. There is no safe level of radon exposure. Any exposure causes some risk of developing cancer. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) concluded that only cigarette smoking poses a greater risk. to radon accounts for 10% of all lung cancer deaths annually. As we breathe, the alpha radiation from radon and its decay products cause damage to the sensitive lung tissue. Most of the radiation dose is not actually from radon itself, but rather from radon s chain of short-lived decay products that are inhaled and lodge in the airways of the lungs. These radionuclides decay quickly, producing other radionuclides that continue damaging the lung tissue. Those particles that are retained long enough release radiation and damage the surrounding lung tissue. It is this damage that can lead to lung cancer. What other health risks are related to radon exposure? No other respiratory ailments are linked to radon exposure. There are preliminary studies that are looking at the link between radon exposure and the development of Parkinson s and Alzheimer s disease. These are early studies, and research is on-going.

4 Survey Date: 3/6/17 to 3/10/17 page 4 of 22 Section 2.0 Scope of Work Performed: At the request of Lyle Erstad, Detection Specialists performed an initial short-term radon measurement at the Middle School South, located at 435 W Cuba Road, Lake Zurich, Illinois. This scope of work included a 4-day (short-term) radon test in all classrooms, offices and common use spaces of the subject building. A total of 119 passive devices were deployed. Of the 119 passive devices deployed, 100 were single measurements, 12 were duplicates and 7 were blanks. This measurement was conducted from Monday, March 6, 2017 to Friday, March 10, The devices used were electret ionization chambers (Eperms ) manufactured by Rad Elec, Inc. The report includes a table that details all device measurement results. Because radon levels fluctuate hourly, daily, weekly, seasonally and yearly, these results should not be used to estimate radon levels of rooms that were not measured, or to estimate future radon levels of rooms that were measured. Changes to the building components (both structural and mechanical) can affect radon concentrations. Duplicate devices have been averaged together and demonstrate the precision of the measurements. The testing was conducted in accordance with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Division of Nuclear Safety (IEMA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) testing protocols for commercial radon measurements, the device manufacturer s recommendations, and the RDS Quality Assurance Plan.

5 Survey Date: 3/6/17 to 3/10/17 page 5 of 22 Section 3.0 Quality Assurance Plan for this Site Pre-Deployment Testing Strategy s will be conducted in all classrooms, offices and common use spaces of the subject building. A minimum of 1 detector will be placed every 2000 square feet in open areas. s will not be conducted in rooms that are not frequently occupied such as closets, storage rooms, restrooms, hallways, and stairwells unless the space is considered alterable for future regular use, or the measurement is taken for diagnostic purposes. Materials and Methods RDS will use electret ionization chambers to measure radon levels in the air in the above referenced property. The test will comply with all protocols set forth by IEMA, as well as the RDS Quality Assurance Plan. Duplicate measurements will be conducted for not less than 10% of the total single devices placed to measure precision. Field blanks will be deployed for not less than 5% of the total number of single measurements deployed to measure background gamma radiation. Spike tests are conducted monthly by an independent lab, at a minimum of 3% for the total number of devices deployed (annually) or at a rate of 6 spikes per calendar month, to measure accuracy. The initial voltage reading will take place not more than 24 hours prior to deployment and the final voltage of the devices will be determined within 24 hours of retrieval. RDS will locate devices in such a way to limit unintentional interference from building occupants. A walk-through inspection of the building will allow RDS to document observations regarding radon entry mechanisms and general building pressure gradients. results will be reported in picocuries per liter of air.

6 Survey Date: 3/6/17 to 3/10/17 page 6 of 22 Section 4.0 Explanation of Device Results and Site Notes Appendix A provides a detailed drawing showing device locations, if an appropriate and accurate drawing is provided by the client and dimensional device plotting is possible. If Appendix A is blank, please refer to the Device Placement columns provided in Appendix B ( and Number) as an explanation of device locations. Appendix B identifies all the devices deployed and their reported radon levels. The results were determined using calculations supplied by the device manufacturer. The radon levels were BELOW the recommended Action of 4.0 pci/l in 100 of the 100 single locations measured. Notes Regarding Appendix B: All radon levels are expressed in picocuries per liter of air. The building was tested in accordance with IEMA, and EPA protocols with regard to device placement and analytical methods of calculating results. Tampering was not detected at the time the devices were retrieved, unless noted in the Comment Column. Devices were placed strategically to reduce accidental interference by building occupants. Duplicates are averaged together. It is the average of the two devices upon which mitigation decisions should be based. Site Notes: 1. The subject building was occupied and fully-functional during this radon measurement. 2. The testing period was noted to have been unremarkable in terms of changes/repairs to the building functionality. 3. Due to severe weather during the measurement period, the length of the test was extended to 96 hours. 4. At device deployment, windows were noted to be open in Classrooms 309, 706, 705, 802, and 94. The windows in these locations were closed at the onset of the measurement.

7 Survey Date: 3/6/17 to 3/10/17 page 7 of During the measurement, Classroom 802 self-reported needing to open the windows for a shorttime due to the nature of a science experiment. It is unknown, to what extent, if any, this had on the radon levels detected. 6. At device retrieval, it was noted that Classroom 212 was inadvertently skipped. There are no results for this location. 7. At device retrieval, the testing device deployed in Classroom 404 was noted to have been prematurely closed. The results for this location are invalid.

8 Survey Date: 3/6/17 to 3/10/17 page 8 of 22 Section 5.0 Survey Summary The radon levels found during this short-term survey were BELOW the US EPA and IEMA Action of 4.0 pci/l in 100 of the 100 single locations measured. Recommendations For locations with invalid measurements or no measurements: Classrooms 212 and 404 It is the recommendation of this testing professional to perform another short-term survey in locations with invalid measurements or no measurements. When all levels detected are below the Action of 4.0 pci/l Best Practice in : Because different ventilation systems and varying seasonal pressures can influence radon levels, it is the recommendation of this testing professional to perform another short-term survey in three years, in an alternating season, to establish an alternate seasonal baseline. A Note About Long-Term Testing The EPA and IEMA Action of 4.0 pci/l is based upon an annual average exposure. As a matter of best practice in radon measurement, a long-term measurement is the best way to determine occupants' annual exposure, because radon levels vary hourly, daily, weekly, seasonally and over the years. Longterm testing (lasting 90 days to one year) provides a better understanding of building radon concentrations and the risks of exposure to radon. Although the results of this short-term measurement performed by an Illinois licensed testing professional were below the EPA and IEMA Action of 4.0pCi/L, to have a thorough understanding of the occupants risks of exposure, a long-term measurement is always recommended. This type of measurement will provide the best indication of radon concentrations and are the basis upon which mitigation decisions should be made. Should you choose to engage in a long-term measurement as recommended, please contact us for further details.
