Radon

Radon is an invisible and odorless, naturally occurring, radioactive gas that can seep through the ground and into residential homes and other buildings. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after cigarette smoking.

Radon is measured in picoCuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon indoor air test resulting with a number above 4 pCi/L indicates an elevated level of radon in that particular environment. If a test is over 4 pCi/L, we advise to run another test to verify the first result or contact a radon mitigation contractor.
