Radon Measurement

What is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural 
radioactive decay of radium, which is a natural decay
product of uranium. Scientifically, “radon” is known to be
radon-222.  As a noble gas, radon is colorless, odorless  
and chemically inert and cannot be detected by human  
senses.

Why test for Radon?
According to the Surgeon General of the United States,
radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer within the USA.

Radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer 
deaths per year, according to EPA's 2003 Assessment of
Risks from Radon in Homes (EPA 402-R-03-003). The
numbers of deaths from other causes are taken from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 1999-2001 National Center for Injury Prevention and Control Report and 2002 National Safety Council Reports.

Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths, but if your home has high radon levels and you smoke, then your risk of lung cancer is especially high. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association agree that long term exposure to elevated levels of radon pose a significant  health risk to you and your family.
Therefore, since radon is a colorless, odorless, and
tasteless gas, the only way to determine if radon is in your home is by testing.

Purpose
The purpose of this service is to determine if dangerous 
levels of radon are present indoors.
