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.
