Many states require radon professionals to be licensed, certified, or registered. Most states can provide you with a list of knowledgeable radon service providers doing business in the state. In states that don&#39;t regulate radon services, ask the contractor if they hold a professional proficiency or certification credential. Such programs usually provide members with a photo-ID card, which indicates their qualification(s) and its expiration date. If in doubt, you should check with their credentialing organization. Alternatively, ask the contractor if they&#39;ve successfully completed formal training appropriate for testing or mitigation, e.g., a course in radon measurement or radon<br> mitigation.</font></p> <p class="body" align="justify"><span class="body"> <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">For more detailed information refer to the online EPA publication: <a target="_self" href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/hmbyguid.html">&quot;Home Buyer&#39;s and Seller&#39;s Guide to Radon&quot;.</a> An <a target="_self" href="http://www.epa.gov/iaq/radon/pubs/hmbuygud.pdf">Adobe Acrobat pdf version</a> of the Guide is also available if you are more interested in printing out the information.
