Missouri (any home; the study drew on Missouri women statewide)
Home radon-gas test + EPA action-level routing — Missouri.

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Test your home for radon in Missouri with an EPA-protocol kit, then compare the result to the 4 pCi/L action level. A population-based study of Missouri women measured radon in their homes. Radon is an odorless, invisible gas and a leading cause of lung cancer, yet most homeowners never test for it. The home's radon level is untested and unknown, since radon cannot be seen or smelled.
Offer to pay $85. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is testing and routing only, never installing, specifying, or recommending a mitigation system or contractor beyond confirming certification. A result at or above 4 pCi/L needs prompt follow-up with a certified mitigation contractor, not panic, since the risk is long-term, not acute poisoning.
The full safety list for this job:
- A household member who smokes and lives with elevated radon carries a synergistic, multiplicative lung-cancer risk per EPA and BEIR VI, so flag the combination and route to smoking-cessation resources alongside the radon follow-up.
- Homes with an installed mitigation system are retested every 2 years per EPA guidance.
- The Missouri study's finding depended on the measurement method (surface monitors versus standard dosimetry), so it is context only: this packet never tells a household its own risk from it and never sets an action level other than the EPA's 4 pCi/L.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the National Cancer Institute or the study authors: named as the real, verified source of a published Missouri study, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- the household's own EPA-listed radon test device (short-term charcoal / alpha-track kit ≥48 h, long-term detector >90 days, or a continuous radon monitor)
- the household's phone camera (placement photos, guided remotely)
- EPA Citizen's Guide + the 4 pCi/L action-level reference + NRPP/NRSB certified-professional lookup
- calendar for start/end dates and the closed-house window
- proof record form
Steps
- 1. Sit with the household first (call or video): what prompted the test (a neighbor's result, a basement bedroom, a real-estate transaction, a known Zone 1 county)? Who spends time on the lowest lived-in level and how many hours, sleeping areas, children, and any smokers (radon + smoking multiplies lung-cancer risk). Record any prior test and its placement. Capture their concerns in their own words.
- 2. Confirm the kit is EPA-protocol and record the device type and planned duration: short-term ≥48 h under closed-house conditions, or long-term >90 days.
- 3. Guide placement by photo: lowest lived-in level (never a crawlspace), ≥20 in. above the floor, ≥3 ft from exterior walls/windows/doors, away from drafts, heat, and humidity; NEVER a kitchen, bathroom, or laundry. For a short-term test, closed-house conditions (windows/exterior doors shut, normal HVAC) start 12 hours before and hold throughout. Record the start date/time and keep the placement photo.
- 4. At test end, record the end date/time and duration, confirm the closed-house window held for a short-term test, and have the kit sent to its lab (or the monitor read) per the kit's own instructions.
- 5. Record the result in pCi/L and compare it EXPLICITLY to the EPA 4 pCi/L action level, in writing. Explain what the number is: cumulative long-term lung-cancer risk, no acute emergency at any level — act promptly, without panic.
- 6. Route by the result: below 4 pCi/L -> record it and set the retest cadence (EPA: every 2 years, and after renovations or a change in how the lowest level is occupied). Short-term at/above 4 pCi/L -> a confirming follow-up measurement is REQUIRED before any conclusion. Confirmed at/above 4 pCi/L -> route to an NRPP/NRSB-certified radon mitigation professional BY NAME. A smoker in the home AND elevated radon -> flag the multiplicative risk explicitly and route smoking-cessation resources alongside the radon follow-up.
- 7. Review the record WITH the household so they own the number and the next step; enter device type, dates/duration, closed-house confirmation, placement photo, the pCi/L result, the action-level comparison, and the routing into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Test type recorded (short-term charcoal canister/alpha-track vs long-term detector) with start/end dates and duration
- Closed-house conditions confirmed for a short-term test (windows/exterior doors closed >=12 h before and during the test)
- Result recorded in pCi/L, compared explicitly to the EPA 4 pCi/L action level
- Any result >=4 pCi/L on a short-term test routed to a required follow-up measurement; any confirmed >=4 pCi/L (long-term or averaged short-term) routed to a certified radon mitigation contractor by name
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
