Radon in your home
The EPA and the
Surgeon General recommends all homes be tested for Radon.
This is especially important during Real Estate transactions.
Nearly one in fifteen homes or more have radon levels above the action
level established by the EPA. The good is elevated radon level
usually can be easily mitigated.

Surgeon General of the United States
Health Advisory "Indoor radon gas
is a national health problem. Radon
causes thousands of deaths each year.
Millions of homes have elevated radon
levels. Most homes should be tested for
radon. When elevated levels are
confirmed, the problem should be
corrected." |

What is Radon?
Radon is a cancer causing, radioactive gas that occurs naturally
in soil. Read: "A
Citizen's Guide to Radon: The Guide to Protecting Yourself
and Your Family From Radon" published by the EPA. This
recently revised guidance offers strategies for testing your
home for radon and discussions of what steps to take after you
have tested, discussions of the risk of radon and radon myths
Also from the EPA, "Home
Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon". The EPA recommends:
- If you are buying a home or
selling your home, have it tested
for radon.
- For a new home, ask if
radon-resistant construction
features were used and if the home
has been tested.
- Fix the home if the radon level
is 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or
higher.
- Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L
still pose a risk, and in many
cases, may be reduced.
- Take steps to prevent device
interference when conducting a radon
test.
