Radon Levels In My Area

Radon is a gas which can be found everywhere, though some parts of the country, in particular, are more likely to have higher exposure levels than other areas. When you hear the term radon levels, this refers to the amount of radon present in a given area (generally your home). A high radon area is any area where it is predicted that more than 10% of homes will exceed the reference level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre (bq/m 3 ).

No matter where you live, test your home for radon—it’s easy and inexpensive. Epa recommends contacting a licensed professional to install a radon reduction system if your radon level is at or above 4 pci/l of air. For levels below 100 bq m, your individual risk remains relatively low and is.
