What’s the Radon Level in Your Home?

Now is an excellent time to test your home for radon gas. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends actively reducing indoor radon levels when homes are confirmed with 4.0 pCi/L of radon gas or higher. The only way to determine if your home is above or below 4.0 pCi/L is to test. Chronic, long-term radon gas exposure in homes increases the long-term risk of developing lung cancer. Residential radon gas exposure is the number one leading cause of lung cancer death in the U.S. for non-smokers. Low cost radon test kits are available for purchase in any of our Post Rock District offices.
