Radon Testing

Did you know that Radon is the second leading cause of Lung Cancer?

Health Canada has now reduced the acceptable level of Radon in your home from 800 becquerels per cubic meter Bq/m3 to 200 becquerels per cubic meter Bq/m3.

What is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is formed by the breakdown of uranium, a natural radioactive material found in soil, rock and groundwater.

Radon escapes from the ground into the outdoor air. It is diluted to a low concentrations and is not a concern. However, radon that enters an enclosed space, such as a home, can sometimes accumulate to high levels. Radon breaks down to form additional radioactive particles called "progeny" that can contaminate the air you breathe.
