Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes, posing serious health risks. Testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels.

Why Test for Radon?

Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer and is responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths annually. Testing your home is the only way to know if radon levels are high. If levels are elevated, steps can be taken to reduce exposure.

Protecting Your Health Starts at Home

When to Test Your Home

Test your home for radon, especially if it has never been tested, during real estate transactions, or after renovations.

Seal cracks and openings in your home's foundation to reduce radon entry

 

If radon levels are elevated, consult a professional to install a mitigation system.

Avoid smoking indoors, as it significantly increases the risk of lung cancer from radon exposure.

How to Test for Radon

You can test your home for radon using a do-it-yourself test kit or by hiring a professional. Short-term kits measure radon levels for 2–90 days, providing quick results. Long-term kits measure levels for over 90 days, giving a more accurate year-round average. Both types are available through hardware stores or online retailers. Some state and local health departments offer free or discounted kits. To find a qualified radon tester or to obtain a test kit, contact your state radon office.

Interpreting Test Results

Radon levels in Canada are measured in becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³) of air. Health Canada recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if they are 200 Bq/m³ or higher. Even levels between 100 Bq/m³ and 200 Bq/m³ may pose a health risk, and mitigation should still be considered to reduce long-term exposure.

Testing your home for radon is a proactive step in safeguarding your health. By taking action, you can reduce the risk of lung cancer and ensure a safer living environment for you and your family.
