1. Safety and Health
Long-term exposure to elevated levels of radon causes lung cancer. It is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second-leading cause overall. It is the #1 environmental cause of lung cancer. Lung cancer has a high mortality rate because many victims are unaware of their disease until it has reached an advanced stage.

4. Many Testing Options
There are many ways to test, including test kits and professional monitors. Short-term tests by a qualified radon measurement professional can provide you with reliable test results in as little as 2 days. There are also long term tests lasting from 3 to 12 months which don’t have the closed house requirements of a short-term test.
