Yes, they should retest every few years regardless at schools.  But that's not the issue here.  Here, the issue is that they exceeded and still didn't retest!  For years!  Why are you trying to ignore that.  If your position is "people shouldn't panic" then fine.   But if your point is they shouldn't have retested and remediated after these exceeding levels were found, that's indefensible. [/quote]

There are lots of issues here. MCPS's failure to follow the EPA recommendations about retesting is not the only issue. Panic is another issue. So is general ignorance of science. So is an organization that thinks that, if MCPS does something, that thing is by definition bad, because MCPS did it. So is a school system that sometimes makes that organization's work way too easy.[/quote]

You've exhibited quite a bit of ignorance (with your obvious misunderstanding of the lung cancer survival stats) and a lot of interest in distracting from the real issue here:  schools exceeding radon levels and what should have been and should now be done about it.  Let's go back to focusing on that, okay?  Your ridiculous notion that "panic" is the issue here is a nice sideshow, but no. [/quote]
