Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas.
U.S. Surgeon General's Health Advisory:
"Indoor radon gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and breathing it over prolonged
periods can present a significant health risk to families all over the country. It's important to know that this threat is
completely preventable. Radon can be detected with a simple test, and fixed through well-established venting
techniques." January 2005
You cannot see, smell or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing
radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that
radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high
radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.
You should test for radon.
Testing is the only way to find out your home's radon levels. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all
homes below the third floor for radon.
You can fix a radon problem.
If you find that you have high radon levels, there are ways to fix a radon problem. Even very high levels can be reduced
to acceptable levels.
If You are Selling a Home...
The EPA recommends that you test your home before putting it on the market and, if necessary, lower your radon
levels. Save the test results and all information you have about steps that were taken to fix any problems. This could
be a positive selling point.
If You are Buying a Home...
The EPA recommends that you know what the indoor radon level is in any home you are considering buying. Ask the
seller for their radon test results. If the home has a radon-reduction system, ask the seller for information they have
about the system.
If the home has not yet been tested, you should have the house tested.
If you are having a new home built, there are features that can be incorporated into your home during construction to
reduce radon levels.
These radon testing guidelines have been developed specifically to deal with the time-sensitive nature of home
purchases and sales, and the potential for radon device interference. These guidelines are slightly different from the
guidelines in other EPA publications which provide radon testing and reduction information for non-real estate
situations.
This guide recommends three short-term testing options for real estate transactions. The EPA also recommends
testing a home in the lowest level which is currently suitable for occupancy, since a buyer may choose to live in a
lower area of the home than that used by the seller.
1. Why do you need to test for radon?
a. Radon has been found in homes all over the U.S.
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It comes from the natural
breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water, and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the
ground to the air above, and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter
your home through well water. Your home can trap radon inside.
Any home can have a radon problem, including new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or
without basements. In fact, you and your family are most likely to get your greatest radiation exposure at home. That
is where you spend most of your time.
Nearly one out of every 15 homes in the United States is estimated to have an elevated radon level (4 pCi/L or more).
Elevated levels of radon gas have been found in homes in your state.
b. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend that you test your home.
Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon. The EPA and the Surgeon General
recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon.
You cannot predict radon levels based on state, local, or neighborhood radon measurements. Do not rely on radon test
results taken in other homes in the neighborhood to estimate the radon level in your home. Homes which are next to
each other can have different radon levels. Testing is the only way to find out what your home's radon level is.
In some areas, companies may offer different types of radon service agreements. Some agreements let you pay a
one-time fee that covers both testing and radon mitigation, if needed.
