AARST, the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists, is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Fletcher, North Carolina and founded in 1988. AARST has been creating national radon standards with ANSI approval since the early 2000s. AARST does work in Washington, D.C. on public policy, steadily gaining agreement there that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. The leadership of the organization is democratically elected by the members. Standards from AARST are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.

This standard of practice specifies procedures and minimum requirements for measuring radon concentrations in single-family residences to determine if radon mitigation is necessary to protect current and future occupants. This standard applies to homeowners, professionals and any other party seeking to determine if radon mitigation is necessary for real estate or non-real estate purposes.
MA-MFLB consolidates ANSI/AARST MAMF (rev. 1/21) and ANSI/AARST MALB (rev. 1/21) into a single publication. This standard of practice specifies procedures and minimum requirements when measuring radon concentrations in shared structures, or portions of shared structures, used for residential, non-residential or mixed-use purposes to determine if radon mitigation is necessary to protect current and future occupants. These protocols address low-rise and high-rise structures and procedures for testing whole buildings but also for testing only one or several individual rooms or dwellings within a shared building.
This standard specifies practices, minimum requirements and, general guidance for reducing soil gas entry into existing homes in order to mitigate occupant exposures to certain hazardous soil gases, including radon gas, chemical vapors and other hazardous gases. This standard of practice is applicable to residential structures to include those not more than three stories above-grade in height, those often classified as single-family structures, and those that contain not more than four attached dwelling units on a contiguous foundation.

SGM-MFLB consolidates radon mitigation standard published as ANSI/AARST RMS-MF (rev. 12/20) and ANSI/AARST RMS-LB (rev. 12/20) into a single publication. This standard of practice specifies minimum requirements for methods that mitigate risks to occupants posed by the presence of radon gas and chemical vapors or gas in existing multifamily, school, commercial and mixed-use buildings. This standard addresses most all mitigation methods for mitigating radon and other soil gas hazards.
This standard of practice specifies minimum requirements for quality systems designed to quantify the concentration of 222Rn gas in air by qualified professionals (QPs) and laboratories, whose data are intended to be used to determine the need for, or success of, radon mitigation.

This standard of practice contains minimum requirements and guidance for measuring radon in water that enters a building through groundwater supplies for determining if mitigation is necessary to protect current and future occupants of dwellings and other buildings. This standard includes procedures for the collection and transport of water samples, as well as protocols for the quantitative transfer of the sample to a measurement device to determine radon concentrations in water.
