We were saddened to hear of the passing of Roger Tornberg. Roger was a long-standing friend of the Radon Council. He was Managing Director of Radon Centres in Northamptonshire until 2016. He was also a Director of the Radon Council from its early days in 1994, to 2014. Roger was not only a radon practitioner, he also believed in research, publishing a variety of papers. Key topics included the cost-effectiveness of radon protection methods; radon strategies to reduce exposure; sub-slab depressurisation; radon proof membranes. In the 2000’s Roger was particularly active. He was a dynamic, enthusiastic contributor to our understanding of the radon problem and a keen promoter of getting the Councils message ‘out there’.
