(KCI) is pleased to submit the following report to the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) pursuant to completing a “short-term” 3 day radon test for the Dr. Sally K. Ride Elementary School, located at 21301 Seneca Crossing Drive in Germantown, Maryland 20876 (subject site). Scope of Services: KCI conducted radon testing at the subject site to evaluate indoor radon levels relative to the USEPA's recommended action level of 4.0 picocuries per Liter (pCi/L) - the level at which EPA recommends that schools take action to reduce the level. KCI conducted the radon testing in accordance with American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) Protocol for Conducting Measurements of Radon and Radon Decay Products in Schools and Large Buildings. A National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) Radon Measurement Specialist (certification #14SS056) supervised the testing. Additional information on radon management and the health effects of radon exposure is available from www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dep/air/radon or www.epa.gov/radon. KCI visited the site on January 19, 2016 and deployed sixty-four (64) activated charcoal (AC) radon test kits. KCI deployed radon test kits in frequently-occupied ground contact rooms, and other areas, (if applicable) in accordance with AARST guidance. A floor plan map of the building with the test locations is included as Attachment A of this report. As a quality control measure, KCI included duplicate samples, field blanks, lab transit blanks, and office blanks in accordance with AARST recommendations. In addition, KCI submitted six (6) test kits to Bowser-Morner, Inc. as spike samples. The spiked tests were exposed to a known radon concentration by Bowser-Morner prior to being returned to the laboratory for analysis. KCI returned to the site on January 22, 2016 to retrieve the radon sampling test kits. KCI shipped all radon tests via overnight delivery to Airchek, Inc. for analysis by gamma-ray spectroscopy. Airchek, Inc. KC I T E C H N O L O G I E S , I N C . www.kci.com Employee-Owned Since 1988 Mr. Richard Cox February 19, 2016 Page 3 is a NRSB certified analytical laboratory for radon analysis (certification # ARL1402) located at 1936 Butler Bridge Road, Mills River, North Carolina. Evaluation of Testing Conditions: The operating condition that represents the greatest amount of significantly occupied time for this building is; heating active, with outdoor temperature averages ≤ 65° F. KCI concludes that the test period reasonably represents normal conditions when the building is significantly occupied. Clear characterization of the radon hazard is most likely to be observed under this normal operating condition. Based on the evaluation of test conditions, this test should reasonably characterize radon hazards. KCI also conducted observations of field conditions which could affect the results of the test and compiled weather data for the testing period. KCI recorded observations of the following conditions in each room at the time of deployment and collection of the radon test kits: • • • • • • Indoor temperature, HVAC Operation, Dehumidifier operation, Humidifier operation, Ceiling fan operation, and Open windows or doors. Results: The results of the radon test analysis indicated the following: Radon Concentration ≥4.0 piC/L <4.0 piC/L Room none Result n/a See Attachment B Notes: D- Duplicate sample The field blanks, office blank, and lab transit blanks had test results of less than the laboratory detection limit of 0.3 pCi/L. Review of the duplicate sample analysis indicates that adequate laboratory measurement precision was achieved. The Spike sample analysis results indicate the laboratory is operating within statistical control limits. The sampling locations, field observations, and analytical results are listed on Table 1 (Attachment B). The laboratory analytical results are also attached (Attachment C). Laboratory results and exposure data for the spike samples are also included in Attachment C. Our professional services have been performed in accordance with customary principles and practices in the field of industrial hygiene and engineering.
