How is Radon Harmful?

Radon is a radioactive gas, whose solid particles get trapped in human lungs and damage lung tissue, causing lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer in the US. The EPA predicts that each year, roughly 21,000 Americans succumb to lung cancer linked to radon.

Where Does Radon Gas Come From?

Studies show that nearly 1 out of every 15 houses in the US and 6.9 % of houses in Canada have elevated radon levels.

This radioactive gas is fairly common worldwide, with 56 nations already responding to the W.H.O. radon survey.

Electronic monitors, measure radon continuously and can be set to take readings over a period of months or even years.

Alpha track detectors, on the other hand, are placed in the home for a set period of time (usually 90 days) and then sent to a lab to be analyzed.

The average indoor radon level in the United States is about 1.3 pCi/L. However, this number can vary significantly from home to home.

01/19/2023

Long-term radon tests are used to test for radon over a period of more than 90 days. These tests are more accurate than short-term tests in terms of measuring your home's overall radon level.

01/18/2023

Short-term radon tests are typically used to test for radon over a period of 2-90 days. These tests are the most common type of radon test, and they're relatively inexpensive.

Can we STOP radon from entering our homes?

The answer is NO..!

The only way is to control it by installing a radon mitigation system that safely removes it from your home.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive substance that is everywhere – and as long as we have openings in our homes, it can get in.

The only way to know if your home is at risk for radon poisoning is to test for it.
