What is Charcoal Liquid Scintillation?
Charcoal Liquid Scintillation (LS) testing is a type of radon test. It is a set of two passive plastic vials that are set up in the lowest livable space in the home. During the test period, the charcoal vials are opened and absorb the radon decay products. They are sealed at the end of the test period and they are sent to the lab for analysis. Radon levels in the home are derived from the analysis of the vials through light that is projected into the charcoal. This type of test is considered very accurate and provides an average level of radon in the home.
