It gives me great pleasure to welcome
you all to the 5th annual conference
of the Canadian Association of Radon
Scientists and Technologists.
CARST is funded through membership fees, donations and sponsorships and I am
delighted to see the growth in sponsorship funding that we received in 2015. These
contributions are needed and greatly appreciated. Your financial donations are carefully invested to raise public awareness and education, promote radon advocacy at the
federal, provincial and municipal levels of government, and to support other significant
radon stakeholder initiatives.
Since our last conference in Vancouver, your board has been hard at work meeting with
provincial policy makers and influencers to advocate for changes in building and labour
codes, which would lead to increased radon testing of homes, workplaces, schools/
daycares and to stronger radon prevention measures for new construction — more on
these initiatives during the conference. Board members have also participated in many
media interviews during the year and served on various committees focused on improving building standards for new and existing construction.
On behalf of all members, I would like to thank your Board of Directors, for the countless hours they generously give to enable CARST to fulfil its goal of preventing public
exposure to radon gas and saving lives. I would also like to add a special "thank you” to
Pam Warkentin, CARST Executive Assistant and Executive Director of C-NRPP. Without
Pam’s tireless energy, dedication and enthusiasm, CARST would not be where we are
today. When I pause to reflect on how far we have come over the past five years and
how much further we will go, I am excited and more optimistic, than at any other time.

President Message
This year's conference theme is "Connect and Educate”, and we have an excellent
agenda and line up of speakers and educators, whom I want to thank for taking the
time out of their busy schedules to present their research work, and share their experiences and knowledge. In Vancouver we had a record conference attendance, bringing
together speakers from seven countries and welcomed many stakeholder groups, who
were represented at our conference for the first time. Montreal promises to be another
memorable conference and special occasion, being held in "LaBelle Province” for the
first time.

La FORCE en GÉNIE-CONSEIL
Il me fait énormément plaisir de vous
souhaiter la bienvenue au 5 ième
congrès annuel de l’Association
Canadienne des Scientifiques et
Technologues du Radon.
L’ACSTR est financée par les frais d’adhésion des membres, les dons et les commandites et je suis ravi de voir l’augmentation du financement par commandites que nous
avons reçu en 2015. Ces contributions sont nécessaires et grandement appréciées,
vos dons financiers sont investis avec attention pour augmenter la sensibilisation et
l’éducation du public, promouvoir la cause du radon aux niveaux fédéral, provincial et
municipal et pour soutenir les initiatives d’autres parties prenantes.
Depuis notre dernier congrès de Vancouver, les membres de votre conseil
d’administration ont travaillé fort pour rencontrer les décideurs politiques et gens
d’influence au niveau provincial pour plaider en faveur de changements aux codes du
bâtiment et du travail qui mèneront à une augmentation des mesures du radon dans les
maisons, lieux de travail, écoles/garderies et à des mesures de meilleures méthodes de
prévention pour les nouvelles constructions – vous en apprendrez plus sur ces initiatives durant le congrès. Les membres du conseil ont aussi participé à plusieurs entrevues dans les médias durant l’année dernière et ont siégé à différents comités axés sur
l’amélioration de standards de construction pour les maisons neuves et existantes.
De la part de tous les membres, je voudrais remercier votre Conseil d’administration
pour le nombre incalculable d’heures qu’ils donnent généreusement pour permettre à
CARST/ACSTR de remplir ses buts de prévention du public à l’exposition au radon et
ainsi de sauver des vies. J’aimerais aussi ajouter un » merci » spécial à Pam Warkentin,
l’assistante exécutive de CARST/ACSTR et directeur exécutif de C-NRPP/PNCR-C.
Sans l’énergie inépuisable de Pam, son dévouement et son dynamisme, CARST/ACSTR
ne serait pas là où nous en sommes aujourd’hui. Lorsque je pense au chemin parcouru
lors de ces 5 dernières années et jusqu’où nous irons, je suis plus que jamais enthousiasmé et optimiste plus que jamais.
Alan J. Whitehead
Message du Président
Le thème du congrès de cette année « Rejoindre et sensibiliser », à cet effet nous avons
un très bon programme avec d’excellents conférenciers et formateurs que je voudrais
remercier de prendre le temps malgré leurs agendas bien remplis pour nous offrir le
résultat de leurs recherches et de partager leurs expériences et leur savoir. À Vancouver
nous avons eu un record d’assistance avec des conférenciers de sept pays et la participation de plusieurs intervenants qui participaient pour la première fois à nos activités.
Pour la première fois dans « La Belle Province », Montréal promet d’être un autre
congrès mémorable avec des occasions spéciales.

This is a new idea this year. We have invited companies to give a presentation on a product that they have
developed for the radon industry in Canada. This session will give radon professionals some insight into
tools that they may be able to use in their businesses. The following four companies will present their
ideas in one-hour sessions.
RADON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
RADIATION SAFETY INSTITUTE OF CANADA
David Innes, Director of Sales
Jason Sadowski, Manager RSIC National
Laboratory
David Innes, a C-NRPP certified radon measurement and mitigation professional, will introduce
three new measurement technologies for radon in
air and water. The Rapidos® alpha track detector
combines the convenience of a short term radon
test with the accuracy benefits of a long term test.
Both accurate and flexible, it is one of the most
effective ways to measure radon in homes, schools
and workplaces.
The Radiation Safety Institute of Canada specializes in the individual monitoring of workers exposed
to radiation from radon, thoron, and long-lived
radioactive dust. As part of this monitoring service,
the Institute operates a radon calibration chamber
located at its National Laboratory in Saskatoon
SK. To help meet the needs of the growing radon
industry in Canada, the RSIC, in collaboration with
Health Canada, is working to have its chamber
certified as an approved secondary radon reference facility.
The Pylon Radon Air Test is an even faster way to
test indoor air. You receive two Lucas-type scintillation cells for testing. Use the connector to easily
deploy both cells within 48 hours of receipt. Return
for analysis within seven days and your cells will be
analyzed and reported via email.
This presentation will focus on the details of project as well as explain some of the complexity
and challenges regarding radon calibration and
measurement.
The Pylon Radon Water Test is specifically suited
for well water analysis where accurate results are
needed quickly. You receive a scientific-grade
bottle for testing. Once received by the lab, your
water will be analyzed and reported via email.

CURRENT INITIATIVES OF HEALTH CANADA’S
NATIONAL RADON PROGRAM
Jeff Whyte and Kelley Bush
This presentation will cover recent developments
on both the technical and education and awareness
components of the program.
Britt Swoveland will provide background on the initial
development and launch of the RadonAware program,
key outcomes from the last three years of in-field
study, and an overview of the various partnerships that
have led to the BC Lung Association's decision to offer
an online platform of various radon testing resources
to British Columbians, and across Canada.

UPDATE ON THE CGSB RADON MITIGATION
STANDARDS
Jeff Whyte
In March of 2013, Health Canada began to work with
the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) to
develop two National standards for radon mitigation, one for new construction, and one for existing
construction. A Technical Committee was assembled
in addition to a working group for each standard. The
two standards are entitled CAN/CGSB 149.11 – Radon
Control Options for New Construction in Low Rise
Residential Buildings and CAN/CGSB 149.12 – Radon
MANAGING YOUR OCCUPATIONAL
EXPOSURE TO RADON
Judith Lord and Mathieu Brossard
Radon, either natural or artificial, may be an occupational risk for you! The evaluation of the environment must be made and compared to the Canadian
Guidelines on the management of Naturally Occurring
Radioactive Materials (NORM). This includes the work
of radon mitigation. According to the level of radon
exposure and the frequency of work, a plan for the
management of natural radioactive materials may be
needed. The reduction of your exposure to NORM by
ventilating your work environments could be necessary, including, in exceptional cases, respiratory
protection and dosimetry measurements.

The technical content was developed by the two
working groups and via consultations and meetings
with the Technical Committee. The two committee
drafts were subjected to a public review commentary
period in fall 2015. Changes based on the public
review were proposed and made to the 149.12 existing
construction standards and it is expected to be ready
for a committee ballot in early spring 2016. Changes
to the 149.11 new construction standard are currently
being proposed and it is expected to be ready for a

Greg Baytalan
The 2014-15 radon screening exercise within Interior
Health Authority (IHA) buildings, owned and leased
space, involved the deployment of 2300 detectors under the goal of obtaining data across a vast
geographic area, and raising radon awareness among
the approximate 18,000 IHA employees. Test results
above the Guideline spurred significant consultation,
action to mitigate, and the development of a Radon
Exposure Control Plan.
RADON MAPPING AT THE TOWN LEVEL
Generalized information such as radon being the
second leading cause of lung cancer, the 2% lifetime
risk of lung cancer for a non-smoker at the Guideline,
or relating exposure to other causes of death is not
seen adequate in the corporate world, they want hard
facts, something that even Working Level comparisons can’t provide. Under the expectation of having
concrete individualized risk facts, this presentation
will describe the challenges of turning radon test
results into action, and stimulate thought toward future
communication strategy.
Michael E. Kitto
A combination of 51,000 basement-screening
measurements and 12,000 long-term measurements
collected from homes in New York State was used
to develop radon maps on the township level that
indicate the percentage of homes with 148 Bq/m3 (4
pCi/L) in the air of basements and living areas. The
average indoor radon concentration was estimated
for ~1000 towns in the state using both empirical and
Bayesian regression techniques to combine surficial
geology correlations with the measurement data. For
towns with >30 measurements, results obtained using
the two methods were equivalent (r2=0.96). Over half
of the houses in 212 towns contain basement-level
radon concentrations above 148 Bq/m3. Results of
long-term living-area radon risk estimates and an
earlier random survey results agreed within 20%,
demonstrating that the maps can be used to reliably
assess residential radon exposure.

COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF RADON IN
WATER
Michael E. Kitto
Of the 500 public water supplies in New York State
that have been measured for their radon content,
the highest levels occur in the southeastern section
of the state that is underlain by an extension of the
Reading Prong and were frequently accompanied by
increased levels of U and/or Ra. Studies showed that
when radon-laden water was used in showering and
washing clothes, airborne levels of radon increased
dramatically in the rooms’ air. Since radon gas will
easily emanate from a water sample, several collection
methods will be discussed, along with the advantages
and disadvantages of each. To examine the accuracy
of radon analyses by commercial, government, and
private laboratories, an intercomparison of radon-inwater standards was conducted. Identical, reusable,
radium-free radon-in-water standards were prepared
using a 226Ra-loaded filter sandwiched in polyethylene sheeting. The intercomparison showed that, at
three widely different levels, most of the participants
reported concentrations within 25% of the knowns
using a combination of radioanalytical techniques.

C-NRPP'S HOME RADON ALARM LISTING
IMPLEMENTATION
Michael LaFontaine
Michael LaFontaine, PPhys is the C-NRPP Lead
Auditor, Technical Evaluations & QA, for the Canadian
National Radon Proficiency Program.
Early 2015, the CARST technical committee developed a performance specification for Home Radon
Alarms. These electronic, radon monitoring devices
are designed and intended for homeowners to use
much like the radon equivalent of a smoke detector.
Jon Eakes
Radon work in new construction appears so simple yet
what gets done, even inspector approved, is often of
little or no use in actually controlling radon. Although
the construction industry has dealt with ventilation of
all sorts and for a long time, there is no experience
with the creation of constant light depressurization.
How do gasses flow horizontally through sub-slab
materials and when, where and how do passive stacks
actually work are questions that are poorly understood
by designers, supervisors and tradespeople. Preparing
what was thought to be a simple video on radon
control for new construction turned out to be a major
challenge – breaking old habits and creating an understanding of new requirements. Jon Eakes will present
some of the fundamental information to be found in
his new Radon Control in New Canadian Construction
video series which is free to all on the web in both
languages at JonEakes.com/TradesTraining.
◊
Le travail sur le contrôle du radon dans les nouvelles
constructions semble si simple et pourtant ce qui est
fait, même approuvé par un inspecteur, est souvent
peu ou pas utile dans l’éventuel contrôle de radon.
Bien que l'industrie de la construction ait travaillé
avec la ventilation de toutes sortes et pour une longue
période, il n'y a pas d'expérience avec la création
d’une légère dépressurisation constante. Comment
circulent les gaz horizontalement à travers des matériaux sous la dalle, et quand, où et comment faire des
tuyaux passifs qui fonctionnent réellement sont des
questions qui sont mal comprises par les concepteurs,
les superviseurs et les gens de métier. Ce qui a été
pensé à être une simple vidéo sur le contrôle du
radon pour la nouvelle construction a fini par être un
défi majeur. Briser les vieilles habitudes et la création
d'une compréhension des nouvelles exigences était
un défi à mettre en animation. Jon Eakes présentera

Kathleen Cooper
During my graduate and post-graduate studies
(2008-2015) at the Institut national de la recherche
scientifique (Eau Terre Environnement Center), I
worked on the identification of the radon-prone
areas based on proxy criteria in the province of
Quebec. My Ph.D. thesis presents an approach
to predict the indoor radon potential based on
radiogeochemical data and indoor radon measurements. The relations between the proxy criteria
(radiogeochemical data) and the indoor radon
measurements were established using KruskalWallis one-way analysis of variance. The map of the
geogenic radon potential that was produced helped
the health authorities to identify the radon-prone
areas in Quebec. I also demonstrated the usefulness of the local structural geology characteristics
to predict indoor radon concentrations in my thesis.
These research projects were carried out in partnership with the ministère de la Santé et des Services
sociaux du Québec and the Institut national de
santé publique du Québec. Since May 2015, I am
a post-doctoral fellow also at the INRS-ETE. I now
work within a new research group in geophysics.
During February and March 2016, I was at the US
Geological Survey in San Francisco. The INRS and
the USGS work together on the estimation of the
Curie depth in the province of Quebec from North
American aeromagnetic data. Using an inversion

approach, we aim to estimate the geothermal potential in the province of Quebec.

Je me suis intéressé à la problématique du radon
dans l’air intérieur des bâtiments québécois dans
le cadre de mes études de deuxième et troisième
cycles (2008-2015) à l’Institut national de la recherche scientifique (Centre Eau Terre Environnement).
Ma thèse de doctorat portait sur la modélisation du
potentiel d’émission de radon dans l’air intérieur à
partir d’indicateurs de nature géologique combinés
à des analyses de variance de Kruskal-Wallis. Ces
analyses statistiques ont permis de mesurer les relations qui existent entre les indicateurs et les mesures
de radon dans l’air intérieur. Les zones d’intervention
prioritaire au Québec ont été identifiées à partir de
ces analyses. Je me suis également intéressé à
l’effet de la présence de failles géologiques à proximité des bâtiments sur les concentrations en radon
à l’intérieur de ceux-ci. Ces projets de recherche
ont été effectués en partenariat avec le ministère
de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec
et l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec.
Depuis mai 2015, je suis stagiaire postdoctoral,
également à l’INRS-ETE. J’ai intégré une équipe de
recherche avec une toute autre expertise puisque
je m’intéresse désormais à la géophysique. Je suis
allé à la US Geological Survey à San Francisco en
février et mars 2016 pour amorcer une collaboration entre l’INRS et la USGS. Nos travaux portent
sur l’estimation de la profondeur de Curie à partir
des données aéromagnétiques nord-américaines.
Cette méthode d’inversion peu commune permettra d’évaluer le potentiel géothermique au Québec
et ainsi donner des outils justificatifs à l’exploiteur
potentiel de cette ressource (Hydro-Québec).

Radon Professionals
Radon is the first leading environmental cause of
lung cancer and responsible for over 3000 deaths a
year in Canada.
Canadians are slowly growing in their understanding
of radon and how they need to respond to prevent
lung cancer for themselves and their family. CARST
runs an annual conference as a way to achieve our
goals. This radon conference is an opportunity for
sharing ideas, research and developing new methods for increasing radon awareness across Canada.
Past conferences have been valuable opportunities
for professionals to connect, inspire and learn from
one another. They have been a place for organizations to share and hear about work of others in the
field of radon research, awareness and health.
