Radon Testing
-
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas
-
It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe
-
Radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year
-
You cannot see, smell or taste radon
-
Testing is easy and the only way to find out your home’s radon levels
-
A qualified radon tester, often a home inspector, will use a radon measurement device from a qualified laboratory
-
There are ways to fix a radon problem; even very high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels
-
Radon has been found in homes all over the United States
-
Nearly one out of every 15 homes is estimated to have an elevated radon level (4 pCi/L or more)
-
Any home can have a radon problem: new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, homes with or without basements
