In this episode of The Indoor Environment Project, host Diane Swecker sits down with Amy Roedl, NRPP Director of Proficiency, and Mark Ungerer, Health Physicist Supervisor with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about ethics in the radon and indoor environmental industries.

Together, they explore what ethical behavior really looks like in day-to-day practice, the difference between technical and conduct violations, how complaints are investigated, and why doing the right thing—especially when no one’s watching—builds trust and credibility across our profession.

This episode also highlights upcoming IEA events and opportunities, including the 2025 IEA Radon and Vapor Intrusion Symposium in Fort Worth, Texas (October 26–29, 2025), and reminds NRPP-certified listeners that this episode is worth 1 CE credit (course code IEA-401).

Whether you’re a regulator, a mitigator, or a measurement professional, this discussion will inspire you to keep ethics at the core of your work and strengthen the integrity of our industry.
