WHAT IS RADON AND WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?
What is Radon?
- Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium in soil and rocks.
- It's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it difficult to detect without specialized equipment.
- When radon seeps into a home through cracks in the foundation or other openings, it can accumulate and pose a health risk.
- Tennessee has reported high levels of Radon.
Why is Radon Testing Important?
- Exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
- Testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels with potential to contribute to respiratory issues and other health concerns.
- If high levels are detected, measures can be taken to reduce them, protecting the health of occupant

- Tennessee's Average level of Radon is 4.8 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's and WHO's Action Level.
- Above 4 pCi/L is equivalent to smoking 4 packs a day.

Types of Radon Tests:
- Short-term tests: These kits measure radon levels over a shorter period, typically 2-90 days, and are a good starting point for initial testing.
- Long-term tests: These kits measure radon levels over a longer period, typically 3 months to a year, and provide a more accurate average of rado

- Continuous monitors: These devices continuously measure radon levels and can provide real-time data. (This is the type of Radon Monitor we use. After testing is complete, we are able to generate a report.)
If your test results show elevated radon levels, contact a qualified radon mitigation specialist.
