What is Radon?

You cannot see, smell, or taste radon, however, it may be a problem in your home or a property you are purchasing. Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in solids and rocks. This gas moves through the earth and enters buildings through cracks and / or holes in foundations and floors and accumulates. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Surgeon General have identified radon gas as the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

Living in a home with elevated radon readings for a long period of time significantly increases your chances of contracting the disease. The risk is even more pronounced if you smoke or have ever smoked. The only way to determine if you are at risk from radon is to perform testing. The EPA and Surgeon General recommend testing for all homes below the third floor for radon. The EPA also recommends that all schools be tested. However, since radon can get into any building, it is certainly advisable to test office and other buildings as well.

Testing is simple and inexpensive. If your test results are elevated (at or above 4.0 pCi/L per the EPA action guideline), additional testing or mitigation may be required. Even high levels of radon can be reduced to acceptable levels for a relatively low cost.
