When Is Radon Mitigation Recommended?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends fixing your home if the radon level is above 4 pCi/L (pico Curies per Liter). They also state that individuals should
consider repairs if the level falls between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L. It is unknown what level of radon gas in our homes is considered safe, but the United States Congress has defined a long-term goal of having radon levels in
homes no greater than the average radon level in outdoor air -- 0.4 pCi/L. Currently, the average radon level inside homes in the U.S. is 1.3 pCi/L.
Importance of Radon Mitigation in Lung Cancer Prevention
Radon is the
second leading cause of lung cancer, and the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
We are the experts of Radon Mitigation Methods
More and more, home buyers and renters are asking about radon levels before they buy or rent a home. Because real estate sales happen quickly, there is often little time to deal with radon and other issues. The best thing to do is to test for radon NOW and save the results in case the buyer is interested in them. Fix a problem if it exists so it won't complicate your home sale. If you are planning to move, read EPA's pamphlet "Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon," which addresses some common questions (see also Radon in Real Estate). You can also use the results of two short-term tests done side-by-side (four inches apart) to decide whether to fix your home.
| But what you might not have heard is that high levels have been found in a number of schools across the country. |
