Radon is a radioactive gas that is found in soil and rock in all parts of the United States. It is formed by the decay of uranium, which is a natural process. Radon gas is invisible, and it has no odor or taste.

What Types of Buildings Contain Radon?

Radon may be found in all types of homes and buildings in the United States. If there is radon gas in the ground, it can seep into a building.

Radon typically moves up from the ground into a home through drains, cracks or other holes in the foundation. Radon then can be trapped inside the home.

DO I NEED TO CONDUCT A THOROUGH ASBESTOS INSPECTION PRIOR TO ANY RENOVATION OR DEMOLITION ACTIVITY? All residential, commercial and institutional buildings are subject to Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (Mass DEP) asbestos regulations at 310 CMR 7.15. Therefore, owners and/or operators (e.g. building owners, renovation and demolition contractors, plumbing and heating contractors, flooring contractors, etc.) need to determine all asbestos containing materials (both non-friable and friable) that are present at the site and whether or not those materials will be impacted by the proposed work prior to conducting any renovation or demolition activity.

Examples of commonly found asbestos containing materials include, but are not limited to, heating system insulation, floor tiles and vinyl sheet flooring, mastics, wallboard, joint compound, decorative plasters, asbestos containing siding and roofing products and fireproofing.

Failure to identify and remove all asbestos containing material prior to its being impacted by renovation or demolition activities can result in significant penalty exposure, and higher clean-up, decontamination, disposal and monitoring cost.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY BUILDING CONTAINS ASBESTOS? HOW DO I CHOOSE A CONTRACTOR? Hire a Department of Labor Standards (DLS) certified asbestos consultant to determine if asbestos is present and whether removal/repair is necessary. If the building is a state-owned facility, contact the Department of Capital Asset Management (DCAM) and DLS. DLS provides a list of licensed asbestos abatement contractors and consultants. You may wish to ask about a contractor's history of violations. Only DLS licensed and DLS certified asbestos abatement contractors and consultants may be hired to perform asbestos-related work in Massachusetts.
