a)
			 Measurement Location
1) Short-term or
			 long-term measurements shall be made, at the same time, in each lowest
			 structural area suitable for occupancy. For example, a split-level building
			 with a basement, a slab-on-grade room and a room over crawlspace shall have
			 measurements made in each of the foundation types: the basement, a
			 slab-on-grade room and a room over the crawlspace.
A) Measurements shall be made in rooms that
			 can be regularly occupied by individuals, such as family rooms, living rooms,
			 dens, playrooms and bedrooms.
B)
			 Charcoal canisters of any type shall not be placed in bathrooms, kitchens,
			 laundry rooms, spa rooms or other areas of high humidity.
C) When the area of the home being tested is
			 over 2000 square feet, an additional test location is required for each 2000
			 square feet of the area being tested.
D) Measurement devices shall be placed in the
			 general breathing zone and shall be:
i)
			 Undisturbed during the measurement period;
ii) At least 3 feet from exterior doors,
			 windows to the outside, or ventilation ducts;
iii) Out of the direct flow of air from the
			 ventilation duct;

			 devices may be suspended in the general breathing zone and, if suspended, shall
			 be 20 inches to 6 feet above the floor and at least 1 foot below the
			 ceiling.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 422 - REGULATIONS FOR RADON SERVICE PROVIDERS › Section 422.150 - Mitigation Standard for Existing Housing

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Mitigation Standard (MS) includes
			 requirements for installation of radon remediation systems and provides a basis
			 for evaluating the quality of such installations. It provides the basis against
			 which in-progress or completed inspections will be evaluated.
b) Radon Mitigation Professional licensees
			 shall be responsible for all radon mitigation systems installed by their firm
			 or its subcontractors to ensure compliance with the requirements of this
			 Mitigation Standard.
c) Limitations
1) Where discrepancies exist between
			 provisions of the MS and municipal codes, the municipal codes shall take
			 precedence, except that the municipal codes shall not take precedence with
			 regard to alterations that may adversely impact the radon reduction functions
			 for which such systems were originally designed and may adversely impact public
			 health and safety regarding exposure to a radioactive element.
2) Compliance with the MS does not guarantee
			 reduction of indoor radon concentrations to any specific level.
3) When altering a mitigation system, it
			 shall be upgraded to the requirements of this Section. Altering radon
			 mitigation systems does not include activities such as replacing worn out
			 equipment or providing new filters, while leaving the remainder of the system
			 unchanged. When maintenance is performed by a licensee on a mitigation system
			 that does not comply with this Part, the client shall be notified in writing
			 that the mitigation system does not comply with the mitigation standards of
			 this Part. In addition, the professional licensee shall provide a written
			 estimate of the upgrades needed and the cost to bring the system into
			 compliance.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) General Practices. This Section contains
			 the requirements for new construction in Illinois in accordance with the Radon
			 Resistant Construction Act [420 ILCS 52 ]. The following required construction
			 methods are intended to resist radon entry and prepare the building for
			 post-construction radon mitigation, if necessary. These techniques are required
			 in all areas of Illinois.
b)
			 Subfloor Preparation. A layer of gas-permeable material shall be placed under
			 all concrete slabs and other floor systems that directly contact the ground and
			 are within the walls of the living spaces of the buildings, to facilitate
			 future installation of a sub-slab depressurization system, if needed. The gas
			 permeable layer shall consist of one of the following:
1) A uniform layer of clean aggregate, a
			 minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) thick. The aggregate shall consist of material
			 that will pass through a 2 inch (51 mm) sieve and be retained by a 1/4 inch
			 (6.4 mm) sieve; or
2) A uniform
			 layer of sand (native or fill), a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) thick, overlain
			 by a layer or strips of geo-textile drainage matting designed to allow the
			 lateral flow of soil gases. The geotextile matting shall have a cross-sectional
			 area of not less than 12 square inches (77 sq. cm) and shall be placed, at a
			 minimum, along the entire inside perimeter of the foundation at a distance of
			 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 cm) distance from the foundation wall to the edge of
			 the drainage matting. Deviation from the 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 cm) distance
			 to the foundation wall shall be allowed to avoid obstacles such as plumbing and
			 other utilities; or
3) Other
			 materials, systems or floor designs with demonstrated capability to permit
			 depressurization across the entire subfloor area.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The first step is to perform a short-term measurement* in the
				lowest structural areas**.

* Short-term tests may last between 2 and 90 days, most last
				between 2 and 7 days. Examples of short-term detectors used in home environment
				testing include: activated charcoal canisters, liquid scintillation vials,
				electret chambers and continuous monitors. Examples of long-term detectors used
				in home environment testing include: alpha track detectors and electret
				chambers.
** Conduct a short-term test in each of the lowest structural
				areas suitable for occupancy in the home. For example, if the home is a
				split-level building with one or more foundation types: test in the basement,
				in a room over the crawlspace and in a slab-on-grade room. In accordance with
				this protocol, measurement licensees are required to test in each of the
				foundation types.

				testing include: activated charcoal canisters, charcoal liquid scintillation
				vials, electret chambers and continuous monitors.
