Robert Minty, 64, said the housing authority should have already checked his
building and the many others that still await action.
The apartment where Minty and his grandson live exceeded the federal action
level on two tests conducted with help from The Oregonian/OregonLive.
“As low cost as it is, they could have done the testing out of wasted money,” he
said.
Nicole Auger said she was relieved when the housing authority placed a radon removal system in the basement of her home in Portland, Maine’s Sagamore
Village this year. “I was just shocked that they actually did it,” she said.

commit.
Some nd radon and leave it there.
