Radon Gas Testing

Radon in air is ubiquitous. Radon is found in outdoor air and in the indoor air of buildings of all kinds. EPA recommends homes be fixed if the radon level is 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or more. Because there is no known safe level of exposure to radon, EPA also recommends that Americans consider fixing their home for radon levels between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends radon testing on the sale of all new and existing homes. Radon is a deadly gas emitted from decaying Uranium and enters a house through small cracks and openings. The inspector will place two canisters in the house and return two days later to pick them up.
