What is Radon?
Radon is a harmful radioactive gas that occurs from the decay of uranium in the ground. Radon moves up through the soil, finds a way into your house and into the air you breathe. It’s found all over the country in any type of house whether old or new. Massachusetts is considered by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be a moderate to high-risk state for radon.
Why test for Radon?
According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It is odorless, tasteless and invisible. The only way to find out if your house has high radon is to test for it. It’s easy to test for radon levels and any necessary radon mitigation systems are highly effective. A radon reduction system is recommended if your radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. Don’t wait, test your home today.
