Multifamily Radon Testing. Multi-Family Radon Testing. This video will provide important information to tenants, landlords, managers, and building owners about the new HUD guidelines and the new EPA Government requirements for multifamily radon testing. These new rules apply to properties that will have HUD government loans, refinancing, sale, for building purchases, and or renovations that utilize these types of loans.Radon is the leading cause of cancer among nonsmokers in the United States, and can be easily mitigated and removed as long as it has been idenfired. EPA recommends testing all homes and building for radon gas. If the building has 5 or more units, it is considered a multifamily building. There are many radon testers, however, there are not many Multifamily Radon Testers. Most states require separate additional licensing or certification for Radon Multifamily Testing. Check your state for Radon Professionals that are certified to perform Radon Multifamily Testing. This video will show you what to expect when you have your building tested for multifamily radon testing. First, you will need to contact your Multifamily Radon Professional. In the Cleveland and Ohio area, you may consider contacting Marko Vovk. You should contact your radon professional 1 -2 weeks in advance. This gives some time for the Radon Professional order fresh radon tests. Your radon professional may want to meet you and look at the building that will require radon testing. At that time, they will provide some simple instruction and they may also provide some occupant notification signs. These signs will let all occupants know about the radon testing that is being performed. During the schedules radon testing, the radon Professional will post signs instructions, some rules including, but not limited to keeping all windows closed during radon testing period. In Ohio and many other states, all units or all rooms must be tested on the first, basement, or lowest building level. Then every floor must have a minim of 10% of its units tested. Finally, the radon professional is required to add 10% duplicated tests, 10% bland tests and 3% Spike tests. Let’s say you have a 13 story building with 11 units per floor and 10 rooms on the first floor. You would need 10 tests on the first floor, 26 tests on the upper floors, 5 duplicates, 5 blanks, and 3 spikes. This building example would be 48 radon tests. The fee for this quantity of testing can range from $1500 to $3000 depending on your radon consultant, travel time, expenses, etc. Small units would be less and larger units would be more.
Your radon professional will spend roughly 4-8 hours preparing the radon tests, signs, duplicates, spikes, and other paperwork. The radon professional will then go to the multifamily building and begin placing radon tests. A building manager should accompany the radon professional. Placing 48 canisters can take 6-8 hours. It is advised to have one extra back up unit per floor in case an occupant forgets locks their door or they may not be home. If the radon professional has to come back, you can guarantee additional trip charges. Two to three days later, the radon professional will return to the building to retrieve the radon tests. This process is much quicker and may take only 3-5 hours, assuming we are picking up 48 tests. These 48 tests are then sent to a state certified laboratory overnight. The radon professional has 14 days to generate the full report. One copy of this report is sent to the client, one copy of this report sent to the state, and one copy of this report is filed at the radon professional’s office.

Carbon Monoxide inside Your Car. Did you know that when you start your car in cold weather, your automobile could produce up to 80,000 PPM of Carbon Monoxide? When cold motors and car engins first start, they run very rich in fuel. During a cold night, the automobile motor, catalytic converter and fuel becomes very cold. When the catalytic converter is cold, it will not convert the deadly carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). In cold weather do not start your cold car with the garage door close. Some of these fumes may infiltrate inside your home. Do not start you car with the garage door open letting it warm up for several minutes while the car is still in the garage. Even with the garage door open, deadly fumes can build to lethal concentrations which may still infiltrate into your home. Additionally, some of these fumes seep and infiltrate into the interior of your car, especially, if the car door is open and are sitting in your car waiting for it to warm up.
This may not happen as often in Florida or Hawaii but it can happen in 70 of the USA cities were it snows or gets cold. For many years, I have been testing this “carbon monoxide in my car phenomenon”. All cars that I tested produced some levels Carbon Monoxide within the interior car with levels ranging between 10 up to 100 PPM of Carbon Monoxide. Older cars produced higher levels. Carbon Monoxide can make you sick even at these low levels. I remember one homeowner taking all types of prescription drugs because she though her house made her sick. Her husband would back his car into the garage. He would cold start the car during a winter morning with the garage door closed. He then opened the garatge door, pulled the car out of the garage, closed the garage door, and drove to work. The trapped carbon monoxide in the garage slowly entered the home sickening his wife.
A few safety rules.
• Never start your car with the garage door closed.
• You should never run car motors or any gas motor in a garage, even if the garage door is open.
• You should never back your car into the garage.
• Make sure your car passes the E-CHECK and make sure it is always tuned up.
• Always repair your exhaust system if it leaks, has odor, or makes noise.
• Finally, start your car with the garage door open. Quickly pull the car out of the garage. Pull the car far away from the garage (20-50 feet away). Quickly get out of the car and leave car windows open. Wait 5 minutes until the car warms up. This will also allow some time for the garage to air out the start up fumes. During this 5 minute wait (you should not be in your car), your car will also air out. After 5 minutes, close the garage door. Get into your car and drive away with the car windows open for at leat one more minute to make sure the interior of your car has clean air. You can also purchase digital Low Level CO detector for your car and one for you garage. You can go to my web site for more information on Low Level Carbon Monoxide Detectors.

Below is the real history of Windex.
Windex is a hard-surface cleaner glass and manufactured since 1933. S. C. Johnson acquired Windex in 1993 and has been manufacturing it since and reformulated in 2006. Windex was originally colored a light, transparent shade of blue but variety of colors are marketed today such as ocean fresh blue, sunshine lemon, citrus orange, with fragrances such as but no limited to spring bouquet, ocean mist, lavender and tea tree. Windex today also has several additives such as vinegar, lemon, lime, or orange juice.
Windex was invented in 1933 by Harry R. Drackett. Back in those days, Windex was 100% solvent, highly flammable, and sold in metal cans. Today In the late 1980s, Windex was a 5% ammonia solution in 1989. Today the The Sam Wise patent #3,463,735 lists example formulae, one of which is 4.0% isopropyl alcohol (a highly volatile solvent) 1% ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (a less volatile solvent), 0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate (a surfactant), 0.01% tetrasodium pyrophosphate (a water softener), 0.05% of 28% ammonia, 1% of a dye solution, and 0.01% perfume. This cleaner is a chemical and should not be indested as some YouTube Windex Prank Videos show. Windex should not be confused with a bartender tinted mixed drink called the “Windex Shot” which contains vodka, triple sec and Blue Curaccao.
