(1) "Business day" means any day
of the year, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and State of Florida
holidays.
(2) "Diagnostic tests"
means tests performed or procedures used to determine appropriate mitigation
methods for a building.
(3)
"Certified person" or "certified individual" means a certified radon
measurement specialist, certified radon measurement business, certified radon
measurement technician, certified radon mitigation business, certified radon
mitigation specialist or certified radon mitigation technician as defined by
this part.
(4) "Certified radon
measurement business" means a commercial business which provides on-site
measurement services for radon or radon progeny and which meets the
requirements for certification provided by this part. For the purpose of this
section, an analytical service provider which does not perform on-site
measurement services directly to the public is not considered a radon
measurement business.
(5)
"Certified radon measurement specialist" means an individual who performs
on-site radon or radon progeny measurements; provides professional advice on
such radon or radon progeny measurements, health risks, radon-related exposure,
radon entry routes, and other radon-related activities; and meets the
requirements for certification provided by this part.
(6) "Certified radon measurement technician"
means an individual who performs on-site radon or radon progeny measurement
activities, provides information on measurement results, and meets the
requirements for certification provided by this part. Such an individual can
perform these activities only under the supervision of a certified radon
measurement specialist.
(7)
"Certified radon mitigation business" means a commercial business which designs
or installs systems in existing buildings to mitigate radon or radon progeny
contamination and which meets the requirements for certification provided by
this part.
(8) "Certified radon
mitigation specialist" means an individual who performs or evaluates diagnostic
tests to determine appropriate radon or radon progeny mitigation strategies for
a building, designs and installs mitigation systems, and meets the requirements
for certification provided by this part.
(9) "Certified radon mitigation technician"
means an individual who installs or supervises the installation of radon or
radon progeny mitigation techniques on existing buildings and meets the
requirements for certification provided by this part. Such an individual can

"Mitigate" means to apply materials or install systems and materials to reduce
radon or radon progeny concentrations in the indoor atmosphere or to prevent
entry of radon or radon progeny into the indoor atmosphere.
(11) "Picocurie per liter (pCi/l)" means 2.22
disintegrations per minute of radioactive material per liter. One picocurie is
equivalent to 10-12 Curies.
(12)
"Radon" means the radioactive noble gas radon 222.
(13) "Radon progeny" means the short-lived
radionuclides formed as a result of the decay of radon 222, including polonium
218, bismuth 214, lead 214, and polonium 214.
(14) "Working level (WL)" means the
concentration of short-lived radon progeny that will result in 130, 000 million
electron volts of potential alpha particle energy per liter of air. Working
level is a measure of radon progeny concentration in air.
