Why Everyone Needs A Radon Detector


Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium, a radioactive metal, breaks down in soil, rocks and groundwater. Outside, radon gas dissipates quickly. Inside your home or business, high levels can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer. Since radon has no smell, taste or color, it’s important to have a radon detector or use a radon test kit to make sure your living area is safe from high levels of this gas.


A radon gas detector is a small computer that electronically checks radon levels on a continuous, daily or weekly basis. This radon monitoring can alert you if unsafe levels accumulate.


Radon gas test kits differ from detectors in that a user must send a test kit to a lab for results. Kits often serve as a short-term testing method to provide professionals and residents with a quick assessment of a dwelling’s radon level.


Radon can also show up in your water supply, especially if your home uses a well for water. When people use water containing radon for everyday activities — such as showers, bathing, washing clothes or dishes, or cooking — the radon in the water can be released and inhaled. In-home radon tests are available to test your water supply to help make sure your family is safe.
