DO MANY HOMES HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF RADON?
One reason is we build most of our homes with basements. Since radon is found in the soil, homes with basements are more likely to have high radon levels. The soil in our state contains widespread low-grade uranium and radium. Approximately one out of every three homes in Minnesota has radon levels above 4 pCi/l. As a result, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recommends that all homes in our state be tested for radon gas.
