Radon is Present Everywhere
Like mold, radon gas is found in every environment, including the space you’re in right now. It becomes a concern when it gets trapped indoors and accumulates to harmful levels over time.
How Radon is Measured
The EPA sets a radon safety threshold at 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). Levels below 4 pCi/L are considered safe, while anything above is elevated and should be addressed to reduce exposure risks.
What Causes Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, water, and even some building materials. It is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, making professional testing the only way to detect its presence.
Health Risks of Radon Exposure
Research from the EPA, National Cancer Institute, and National Academy of Sciences links long-term radon exposure to serious health risks, including an increased risk of lung cancer. Regular testing is essential to ensure safe indoor air quality. Not sure if your home needs a test?
