Radon
Testing & Analysis
It is estimated that one of every 15 homes in the US has a radon level that the EPA considers “elevated” – that is 4pCi/L or greater. The average radon level of indoor air in a typical home is 1.3pCi/L. The average outdoor level is 0.4pCi/L. Since most people spend most of their time indoors (some as much as 90%), indoor air quality is of great concern.
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. It is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the US. The risk of lung cancer is greatly increased in smokers who are exposed to radon.
EPA Protocol for Real Estate
According to the EPA, it is best to have a home tested for radon prior to placing it on the market. Long-term tests (90 days or longer) are known to give a more accurate measurement of the actual radon concentrations in a home, and the exposure to radon on an annual basis. But when selling a home, time is of the essence.
Therefore, the EPA analyzed the results of both long and short-term tests and concluded that that short-term tests are appropriate for determining the need for mitigation. Short-term tests are conducted from two days to 90 days, depending on the measurement device, though most are conducted from two to seven days.
