Box 12194 Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 Prepared for Office of Radiation Programs U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Washington, DC 20460 September, 1986 ------- TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 Instrument Selection 3 Descriptor Explanation 8 > Listing of Laboratories' Performance 9 Listing of Laboratories' Service Areas 21 ------- INTRODUCTION Recent public concern with health effects related to radon expo- sure has greatly increased the demand for laboratories qualified to measure radon and radon progeny in indoor air. In response to requests for assistance from States, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation Programs has developed the Radon/Radon Progeny Mea- surement Proficiency (RMP) Program in which laboratories are invited to voluntarily demonstrate their proficiency in measuring radon and radon progeny levels. The primary benefits of the program are twofold: 1. Laboratories are offered an opportunity to improve their qual- ity assurance programs by attempting to correctly measure es- tablished levels of radon and radon progeny and by intercom- parison with other laboratories. 2. This report is available to Federal and State agencies and the public for use in selecting laboratories for radon and radon progeny measurements. The RMP Program is not designed for laboratory accreditation and does not certify, recommend, or endorse participating laboratories. The list of program participants is provided by EPA only as a source of analytical laboratories with demonstrated radon and radon progeny meas- urement capabilities (Table 1). EPA has determined that the results of at least two rounds are needed in order for a laboratory to reliably demonstrate its measure- ment capabilities. Therefore, laboratories having participated in only one round of the program are included in the listings on a conditional basis. EPA has greater confidence in the measurement capabilities of listed laboratories which have completed their second round of partici- pation in the program. Table 1 lists all current participants in alphabetical order with descriptors of their performance for each round. Their addresses, rep- resentatives' names and phone numbers are also included. An explana- tion of each descriptor in Table 1 is found on page 8. ------- Each laboratory's performance has been assessed on the basis of continued participation, compliance with the administrative require- ments of the program, and sufficient correlation between its screening- type measurement results and the control laboratory's measurements. Labs meeting the criteria are listed with an (LI) designator under each detector type with which they have qualified. After having participat- ed successfully with a given detector in a previous round of the pro- gram, a laboratory, which failed to participate or to meet the program requirements in this round, had the option of being listed on a provi- sional basis or to have all of its ratings for that detector withdrawn from the report. Firms that did not meet all of the program require- ments had the opportunity to upgrade their performance in a special "follow-up" round. Laboratories for which a detector type met program requirements in the follow-up round have been given an (LA) designator. Although the minimum criteria for participating in the RMP Program are lenient, it recognizes the basic concern of the public - the abili- ty to determine the presence or absence of potentially harmful levels of radon and radon progeny. Descriptors indicating laboratory >perform- ance are measurement method, e.g. grab sampling or charcoal canister collection, specific and only indicate that laboratory's ability to perform measurements with that method. For laboratories participating in the program with more than one type of detector, there is a separate performance listing for each measurement method entered. EPA has requested, but not required, that participating laborator- ies submit for review a copy of their quality assurance plans. An X under the column headed "QA" in Table 1 indicates that the laboratory has submitted a plan and it complies to the minimal quality assurance criteria required by this program. In Table 2, participating laboratories are listed in alphabetical order according to the State(s) they serve. Since many firms offer more than one cype of detector, the specific detectors they offer in each service area are listed next to the participant's name. Numerous firms distribute passive detectors and make measurements nation-wide. Therefore, a separate heading for nation-wide service precedes the in- dividual State listings in Table 2. ------- INSTRUMENT SELECTION There are several different measurement systems that may be used to determine the radon or radon decay product concentrations in houses. In practice, the choice of a system is often dictated simply by availa- bility - if an adequate system is available, you use it. If alterna- tive systems are available, then the cost or the duration of the meas- urement may become the deciding factor. EPA has developed measurement protocols for seven different systems, and the Agency believes that any of them, when used in accordance with the protocols, can produce valid results. This does not mean that all measurements made according to the suggested protocols will produce results with identical uncertain- ties, but that any of the listed systems are capable of producing ade- quate results for screening or follow-up purposes. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, however, and the user must exercise some judgment in selecting the system best suited to his or her indi- vidual situation. The following sections detail the characteristics of the seven systems, pointing out some of the advantages and Disadvan- tages of each one. This summary is not exhaustive, but is intended to guide the user in making an informed selection of a measurement system. Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) or Continuous working Level Monitor (CWLM) These two types of measurement systems are similar in that they use an electronic detector to accumulate and store information related to the periodic (usually hourly) average concentration of radon gas or radon decay products. They are installed in the house according to guidance in the EPA protocol, turned on or programmed for the desired operating time - a minimum of 6 hours for screening and 24 hours for follow-up measurements. At the end of the test the monitor must be re- trieved and returned to a laboratory for data analysis. Advantages: o Relatively short measurement duration. ------- o Hourly results can track the variation of concentration in the house. o Most models have small precision errors. o Results are available on-site. Disadvantages: o Costly; cost of each unit may range from $2500 - $10,000, de- pending on model. o Some models are heavy and awkward to move. o Requires a trained operator. o For this, as with any short-term measurement, careful control of closed house conditions 12 hours prior to and during the test is required. Alpha-Track Detectors (AT) Alpha-track detectors consist of a small sheet of a special plas- tic material. The material is permanently marked when struck by alpha particles, such as those emitted by the decay of radon or some of the short-lived radon decay products. The detectors are usually in a fil- tered container that serves to make the measurement specific for radon gas. They are installed in the home according to the guidance in the EPA protocol and left for periods of up to 3 months for screening and 12 months for follow-up measurements. At the end of the desired test- ing period, they must be returned to a laboratory for processing and analysis. Advantages: o Relatively low cost per detector; cost of one unit may range from $20 - $60. o Convenient to handle and install. o Unobtrusive when installed. o No special skills required for deployment. o Can be distributed by mail. o Completely passive, needs no external power. o Can measure the integrated average concentration over a twelve month period, which is the optimal measure of long-term concen- tration. ------- Disadvantages: o Relatively long measurement period necessary; 3 months recom- mended minimum for currently available detectors. o Large inherent variability (precision errors), particularly at low concentrations, if the area of the detector that is counted is small. Charcoal Canisters (CO Charcoal canisters are variously configured containers filled with a measured amount of activated charcoal. The top of the container is often perforated or screened to keep the charcoal from falling out. All charcoal devices are covered with an airtight seal when the device is not being used for measurement. Canisters can be received through the mail from a distributor. Homeowners can deploy the canisters in their homes according to the EPA guidance protocol for up to 7 days. At the end of testing, the canister is resealed and returned to the distributor or analytical laboratory for evaluation. Advantages: o Low cost per canister; one canister may range from $10'- $25. o Convenient to handle and install. o Unobtrusive when installed. o No special skills needed for deployment. o Can be distributed by mail. o Completely passive, needs no external power. o With proper analysis, can yield precise results. Disadvantages: o Some canister types are more sensitive to temperature and hu- midity than others. o The charcoal absorption technique is inherently limited to a few days of sampling, which makes a longer term measurement im- possible with a single detector. Radon Progeny Integrating Sampling Unit (RPISU) The RPISU is a radon decay product measurement system consisting of a flow-rate air pump that pulls air continuously through a detector assembly containing a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD). The unit is ------- deployed and operated under conditions prescribed in the EPA protocols for periods of 3 days or longer. At the end of that time the unit is removed, and the detector assembly is returned to an analytical labora- tory for analysis. Advantages: o Measures radon decay product concentration directly. o Relatively short measurement period. o The detector assembly (not the entire unit) can be sent by mail. o There is extensive experience in the use of RPISU's, therefore measurement errors are well established. Disadvantages: o The entire unit may be both heavy and awkward to move. o May be limited to location with AC power. o Significant capital cost per unit may be from ($500 - $3,000) and for the readout system may be from ($5,000 - $10,000). o Units must be installed and picked up by trained personnel. o Because of the highly reactive nature of radon decay products, decay product measurements are much more susceptible to sam- pling error than radon gas measurements. o Proper operation may be affected by high concentrations of par- ticulates, such as those caused by smoking. Grab Sampling (GW. GR) Grab sampling consists of taking a small sample of air from the home and analyzing it for radon gas or radon decay product concentra- tion in the air contained. The radon grab sample is collected in a special flask containing 100 to 2000 cubic centimeters of air. The ra- don decay product grab sample consists of particulates collected on a small filter. Both samples can be acquired simultaneously with some systems. The samples should be taken in accordance with guidelines in the EPA protocols. Results of the grab radon test are usually returned to the laboratory for analysis; they cannot be analysed for at least 4 hours after testing. For most grab working level tests (radon decay products), results can be obtained on location in an hour or less. ------- Advantages: o Results are quickly obtained. o Equipment can be portable. o Some systems can measure both pCi/1 and WL simultaneously. o Can acquire and evaluate several samples per day. o Conditions during the measurement are known to the sampler. Disadvantages: o System costs may range from $2,500 - $10,000. o Very short measurement periods are unlikely to be representa- tive of the long-term average concentrations. o Requires a skilled operator. o For this, as with any short-term measurement, careful control of closed house conditions 12 hours prior to and during the test is essential. ------- DESCRIPTORS Detector Types: AT - Alpha Track (pCi/1) CC - Charcoal Canister (pCi/1) CR - Continuous Radon Gas Monitor (pCi/1) CW - Continuous Working Level Monitor (WL) GR - Grab Radon Gas Sample (pCi/1) GW - Grab Working Level Sampler (WL) RP - Radon Progeny Integrated Sampling Unit - RPISU (WL) Units; pCi/1 - picocuries per liter, radon gas measurement units WL - working level, radon decay products measurement units Qualification Designations: LI - Level 1 Detector for which a laboratory met all program requirements, including minimum screening measurement requirements (analysis within 25% of actual detector exposure levels).
