The radon-monitoring device present will be used to perform a radon measurement in the residential property indicated below. This device is approved by the USEPA for conducting radon measurements. The minimum duration of the measurement shall be 48 hours or more.

The following conditions must be met for the radon measurement to be considered valid:

1.All windows must remain closed.

2.All exterior doors must remain closed except for normal entrance or exit.

3.HVAC (heating and cooling) systems should operate normally in the range of 72 degrees F, plus or minus 5 degrees (67-77 degrees F

4.Whole house fans and window fans shall not be operated for the duration of the test.

5.Window air-conditioning units may only be used in recirculating mode. 6.Fireplaces or wood stoves shall not be operated unless they are the primary source of heat for the property.

8.The operation of dryers, range hoods, bathroom fans, and other mechanical systems that draw air out of the building may adversely affect your measurement results and should be used minimally.

Note for Real Estate Transactions: Tamper detection efforts are in place. Hourly readings will indicate unusual swings in radon concentration, indoor temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity and may result in the nullification of the radon measurement. Evidence of tampering with equipment or test environment may result in the nullification of the measurement and warrant a retest at the seller's expense.

As the owner and controlling party of the property, I understand and agree to maintain the above conditions to obtain a valid radon measurement. Or as the representative of the owner, seller, agent or other interested party of the property indicated below, I agree to inform the occupants and controlling party of this property of the requirements stated above.
