Hi Jai, It was recorded and is on the library site. The link is:
*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4a803fO1U <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4a803fO1U>* The Mass Department of Health has a limited number of free radon test kits available to order. They seem to like those tests, rather than the electronic devices. I have used several electronic versions and prefer them. I arranged a donation of a number of them for Lincoln residents to borrow and some folks in town are working out a process to loan those out. The Mass Department of Public Health Radon hotline number is 800-723-6695. They can provide helpful information. <+18007236695> Scott *_________________________________* *Scott L.
