    The U.S. began mandating the use of non-arsenic containing wood preservatives for virtually all residential use timber in 2004. The American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) standards for ACQ require a retention of 0.15 lb/cu ft (2.4 kg/m 3) for above ground use and 0.40 lb/cu ft (6.4 kg/m 3) for ground contact.

    A typical radon test kit Fluctuation of ambient air radon concentration over one week, measured in a laboratory. The first step in mitigation is testing. No level of radiation is considered completely safe, but as it cannot be eliminated, governments around the world have set various action levels to provide guidance on when radon concentrations should be reduced.

  4. National Organic Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Organic_Program

    It restricts the use of the term "organic" to certified organic producers (excepting growers selling under $5,000 a year, who must still comply and submit to a records audit if requested, but do not have to formally apply). Certification is handled by state, non-profit and private agencies that have been approved by the USDA [citation needed]
