WHAT IS RADON?
Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, and radioactive gas that can damage lung tissue and increase the risk of lung cancer. Radon is formed from the decay of uranium in soil and can enter buildings through cracks in foundations. Because of its invisible and odorless qualities, physical on-site testing is the only way to know if radon is present in your home.
WHAT IS RADON MITIGATION?
Mitigating radon exposure in your household is crucial for your and your family’s health. Radon exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer in the United States after cigarette smoke.
You can test the radon levels in your house on your own by purchasing a test kit or by hiring a specialist. A safe radon level is typically considered below 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L).
HOW CAN I TEST MY HOME FOR RADON?
The EPA recommends that homes be tested for radon at least once every two years, or after changes in living patterns or renovations. Learn more about how you can test your home yourself by watching the video below.
Another option for home testing is to install a radon mitigation system. Allow the specialists at Harker Heating & Cooling to ensure your home is safe against harmful air pollutants by installing a home radon mitigation system.
