Radon has been a "hot" topic in the news of late. I thought I would use this post to give some straight talk on the subject. First, as you may already know, Radon is an odorless, colorless gas which is 2nd leading cause of non-smoking lung cancer. The good news is that Radon is easily identifiable and once detected is easy to mitigate to non-actionable levels.
Second, how do i understand all the Radon jargon. Radon is measured in pico curies per liter of air. Simply put Radon is measured in micro units of gas and the action level starts at 4.0. As it decays, Radon is released through the small cracks in the slab of your house. So if your house has a basement, crawl space or is build upon a slab, it will enter your house through these small fissures. The good news is that radon can be mitigated to levels well below 4.0 and a secondary consequence of a Radon Mitigation System is that levels of moisture, mold and many allergens are reduced through the mitigation process leaving your house in many cases healthier than before.
So if having Radon in your house is a concern, ( and it may well be), please call us at Metrospect Ltd. and have a Professional Radon Measurement. We can be reached at 847-808-8488.
