What is radon gas:
|
Radon gas enters the home through the slab, basement, or crawl space. Pressure differences within the home (from warm air rising and other natural effects) pull radon into living spaces from the soil. Furnace & air conditioning systems can distribute the air through the structure. Any home in the Watertown NY area may have a radon problem, new or old with or without a basement, sealed basement or not. Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Other less common sources include well water and building materials. Measuring radon concentration in the air is recommended for initial testing. |
|
Most radiation protection specialists believe, (at a minimum), that if you are continuously exposed to levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L then you are at risk. The US EPA's action level for Radon is 4.0 pCi/L.
