Green Party criticises decision to close testing lab for lethal radon gas

The Green Party has described as “odd” the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to shut its radon testing laboratory at a time when efforts to raise awareness of the potentially lethal gas are meant to be ramping up.

As of the end of October, the EPA stopped supplying radon test kits to private property owners, although it will provide readings from already issued test kits up to next August.
