It <br />sometimes is the highest value detected and sometimes is an average of all the detected <br />values. If it is an average, it may contain sampling results from the previous year. <br />Radon is a radioactive gas which is naturally occurring in some groundwater. It <br />poses a lung cancer risl( when gas is released from water into air (as occurs during <br />showering, bathing, or washing dishes or clothes) and a stomach cancer risl( when it is <br />ingested. Because radon in indoor air poses a much greater health risl( than radon in <br />drinking water, an Alternative Maximum Contaminant Level (AMCL) of 4,000 picoCuries <br />per liter may apply in states that have adopted an Indoor Air Program, which compels <br />citizens, homeowners, schools, and communities to reduce the radon threat from indoor <br />air. For states without such a program, the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of300 <br />pCi/1 may apply. Minnesota plans to adopt an Indoor Air Program once the Radon Rule <br />is finalized. <br /> <br />Continued on Page 8 <br /> <br />I've learned. . .
