MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

That the Council contacts the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has worked with certain local authorities to put in place a library loan system for digital radon monitors, to see if such a project could work for South Dublin County Council.

REPORT:

The Council has contacted the EPA and Wexford County Council regarding this digital radon monitors scheme. The scheme will be examined with a view to SDCC rolling it out in conjunction with the library services. 

The EPA's current advice is as "that a digital monitor can be used to give an indication of radon levels in your home. However, a reading from a digital monitor is NOT a replacement for a three month test".

Further information on radon can be found on the EPA website here Radon | Environmental Protection Agency
