Essential Things to Know About Radon Gas

What is radon?

Radon is an odorless gas that is the byproduct of decaying uranium. It is a radioactive element that is usually found in soils and in the air we breathe.

Why should you test for radon gas?

When a person is exposed to high levels of radon, it can cause respiratory ailments and may also lead to lung cancer. Since it is an odorless and colorless gas, the only way to determine high levels of the silent killer gas is to have your home tested for radon.

How are radon tests performed?

Only licensed radon contractors and professionals are capable of implementing radon testing and mitigation. There are two basic types of radon testing - the short term and long term. As the test procedure implies, the fastest way to determine radon gas levels is the short-term radon testing. It uses a radon testing equipment that can last for about three months. As for the long-term radon testing, the equipment can be used for more than ninety days. The equipment will give the home’s year-round average of radon level.

What should I do if my house has high levels of radon?

Radon gas levels that exceed four pCi/L is subjected to radon mitigation. On the other hand, homes that have radon gas levels between 2pCI/L and 4pCi/L should contact a professional for a radon remediation service.
