How do Residents Find Out if Their Homes have Elevated Levels of Radon?
Residents can test their homes for radon by obtaining test kits from their state radon programs or the American Lung Association. Testing a home for radon is simple and can help residents avoid putting themselves and their families at risk. Radon test kits can be purchased at the Kansas county extension offices or ordered from the American Lung Association at 800-586-4872. How Can Residents Fix Elevated Levels of Radon? Qualified radon mitigation contractors can install a radon mitigation system that provides a permanent solution. A typical radon mitigation system includes a suction point that addresses the soil under the structure. A home that has been mitigated will usually have a much lower radon level than the EPA’s action level of 4 picocuries per liter. Addressing residential radon issues is an excellent first step toward assuring good indoor air quality. A list of certified mitigation contractors can be obtained from the state radon program.
