Abstract:
In November, the United States Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule for dealing with radon in drinking water. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that may cause cancer, and may be found in drinking water and indoor air. Due to the expensive costs of radon removal from drinking water, the North Carolina Public Water Supply Section is considering the development of a multimedia radon mitigation program to focus on removing radon from indoor air.
