  2006

 

Presented a 4 hour CE class of a direct comparison of the three
 Radon Mitigation Standards
EPA (RMS),   ASTM E2121,
 &  AARST ASD RMS

Radon Mitigation Standards Comparison

presented at the
 16th Annual International Radon Symposium in Kansas City, Missouri

2004
Authored a paper titled "Draining Water Past Radon Fan Motors installed Outside" Paper details method to extend the life of outdoor radon fans:
                               Fan Drainage

Authored a paper titled "Proposed New Jersey Radon Resistant School Construction Code"  that Bill helped develop and author:                             School RRNC Code

Both papers were presented at the
 14th Annual International Radon Symposium in
Newport, Rhode Island.

 
  2003





2003
Authored a paper titled “Using ASD to mitigate CO2, Methane and Benzene” that describes WPB remediation of soil gases other than radon:
                 Vapor Intrusion Mitigation (VOC) using ASD

Authored a paper titled "School Mitigation Design Considerations" that reviews diagnostic methods used in designing a radon system for several different schools:
                        School Mitgation Design

Both papers were presented at the
13th Annual International Radon Symposium in
Nashville, Tennessee.
