Radon Testing

SHORT TERM RADON SCREENING

AN INVISIBLE THREAT

Protect your Health

You cannot see, smell, or taste radon, but it still may be a concern in your home

Radon is a radioactive gas that’s 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 we breathe.

  • Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above then into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation.
  • Any home can have a radon problem including new and old homes, well-sealed or drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
  • Nearly one out of every 15 homes in the United States are estimated to have an elevated radon level (4pCi/L or more).
  • Radon is easily detected through a simple 48-hour radon test.

For more general radon information, call your EPA Regional office at: Arizona 602.255.4845 x 244 or visit www.epa.gov/iaq/whereyoulive.html

ARE NEWLY BUILT HOMES AT RISK FOR RADON?

Unfortunately, that answer is yes. Many people believe that a home that has just been built can’t be at risk for radon because the materials are new. However, radon is in soil, rocks, and water and can pass through small cracks and holes that are present even in new builds. The only way to know for certain is to get a radon test.
