Page 9 The Sun Bay Paper August 2, 2026 RUN CHICKEN LITTLE...RUN...cont’d. Cont’d. from pg. 8 The table represents some of the guesses by the EPA and DEC... Notes: * “pCi/L is picocuries, a tiny unit used to measure radioactivity, equal to one trillionth of a curie. Specifically, it represents about 2.2 radioactive disintegrations per minute or 0.037 disintegrations per second.” ** “The phrase 220Rn w/o daughters means radon-220 gas measured or evaluated by itself, without counting its radioactive decay products (progeny). In radiation safety and physics, 220Rn stands for the radon isotope radon-220 (also called thoron), and “daughters” refers to its short-lived solid decay products like lead-212 and bismuth-212.” I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, but we are dealing “mother nature”, who deals with the sun! Strange thing ...the Sun controls everybody’s way of life...OH YES, IT DOES... if it’s going to snow, flood, have an Earthquake, and so forth. So, we try to protect ourselves the best we can. Do keep tabs on what goes on around us...but don’t panic...test. If you are in a high-risk area...remember there is no way you can stop the elements in the Periodic Chart! People have tried and will continue until all the Uranium is gone, which will be never! Below is an EPA map of radon that is natural to Mother Earth. The chart shows the radon contamination!? Is it contamination if it appears in nature...what if it is exposed/discovered during construction? Do you think it is...natural, dumped or a little of all? Please note that the entire country...has radon! Almost the entire New York State is over 4.0 picocuries!!! The ENTIRE WORLD is covered with “IUM” elements! What will you do now? Make the entire state a Super Fund State? The EPA states that, “There is NO safe radon level!” If you are looking for radon ...look for the Manhattan Project, it’s that property that’s fenced where nobody lives! Do you think Governor Hochul will be pleased that you believe you have discovered radon when no one else has? Got news for you ...your discoveries are ...not in any way new! What you describe as unusually high levels of a naturally occurring elements may have been left behind by a GOD...or possibly the Department of Defense—or it may simply be natural. Radon was discovered about 1900 and was isolated as a possible dangerous gas. But...to this day they (real scientists) do not have the answers on, “what to do ...what is safe” ...saying Radon causes CANCER maybe a “disservice” ...I have no idea, do you? If a smoker lives in a high Radon, saturated house (a 10.0 pics’ house) and has an x-ray, tech job and comes down with cancer...what caused it?! How do we know? Look at the chart below from 2022 by EPA on radon! New York State ... according to the chart ... is pretty much saturated with ...you guessed it ...radon. Remember now, radon is not visible, has no smell, no color, and is extremely hard to identify. Yet you want to tear down 120 homes and take them away …then what? Ms. Shuman and Buffalo Evening News, you have no idea what you are talking about...you probably have NO actual live college educated with a science degree whatsoever. You couldn’t define climate or weather” when I ask you to... The EPA says and I quote, “We don’t know what is safe for radon”!! When I directed the EPA Task Force ... radon was not a top concern! To this day...we cannot agree ... chemists and scientists disagreed! What Is Radon Gas? “A naturally occurring radioactive element, radon is formed when uranium, thorium, or radium decays. Radon forms from the natural breakdown of soil, rock, and water. It diffuses into the air you breathe. It is found across the United States and generally exists in very low concentrations outdoors, meaning we likely breathe it every day!” As I told you when you interviewed me...there is something that is possible, will make you famous, can be done safely and is only 5000 ft long 50 ft wide and about 30 ft deep ...its’ about 3 miles above the Niagara Falls potable water intake! Think about that for a while ...Ms. Shuman... a “famous reporter” for a useless paper ...my opinion! If Radon is discovered in your house...then follow what a certified company recommends. DEC may have a list. Discoveries ... should not be celebrated. It should be researched and investigated and corrected, and NOT dumped into a hole. That includes the Federal Government, all the States and most commercial, and all the factories, paint shops, and on and on! I ran a 56 front and back report from the DEC on radon in New York State ...and the map tells it all. New York has radon at levels far above what homes should have ...4.0 BUT EPA and I’m certain DEC have no idea what SAFE is!!!??? I certainly don’t know either! So, before you want to sell your house...do more research...and don’t believe everything an uninformed reporter, with a college degree in “communications”. She has a LOT to say ...that’s Ms. Shuman...unverified... my opinion! J. Gary DiLaura, FBI RET Owner, SBP Media LLC therightsidejgarydilaura.com
