Radon Testing Services

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for an estimated 21,000 deaths each year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Because radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, testing is the only way to determine if dangerous levels are present indoors.

Fortunately, exposure to radon is a preventable health risk. This is why testing for radon in homes and buildings is so vital. If elevated levels are detected, mitigation techniques can be implemented to fix the issue and create a safer indoor environment for everyone.

“National Radon Action Month serves as an important reminder that radon testing is simple, affordable, and can save lives,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “Even homes and buildings without basements or those built recently can have elevated radon levels. The only way to know is to test. Testing during the winter months is especially important. Because buildings are sealed up to conserve heat, radon levels are often at their highest, making January and the winter months the perfect time to take action.”

• Short-term and long-term radon test kits for homeowners and professionals
