Radon testing
Radon testing is essential to determine if your home has elevated radon levels, an invisible, odorless, and radioactive gas that can lead to lung cancer. MTSO will assess whether mitigation measures are recommended to reduce risks.
Radon is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, and symptoms do not arise when a person has been exposed to it. In the air, radon is unstable and breaks down into other products. We inhale and exhale radon gas, but radon decay particles stay in the lungs. Over time, these particles can damage cells, which can mutate and cause lung cancer.
If radon is in your home at high concentration levels — brought in through the natural vacuum between the soil and the foundation of your home — it becomes a Class A carcinogen, a risk for lung cancer similar to cigarette smoking.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, following smoking. Even short-term exposure to high radon levels can be dangerous.
Radon is invisible and undetectable by the human senses. Testing is the only way to determine the radon levels in your home.
Many states recommend radon testing before buying a home, and it can be a factor in negotiations and even affect the sale of a house.
By testing your home for radon, you can protect your family from the long-term health risks of radon exposure.
Knowing your home's radon levels gives you peace of mind and allows you to take proactive steps to protect your health and your family's health.
