What is the radon Target Level (100 Bq m-3)?
The health risk from radon is considered to be proportional to the level of long term exposure, with no safe/unsafe threshold. To reflect this, HPA advises that homes with radon levels above the Action Level (200 Bq m-3) should be remediated, preferably to below the Target Level. Householders with levels between the Target Level (100 Bq m-3) and Action Level (200 Bq m-3) should seriously consider reducing their radon level, especially if they are at greater risk, such as if they are current or ex smokers.
