radon gas testingbe safe

Radon Gas is an odorless, colorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas. As a radioactive gas, it can lead to an increased risk of lung cancer over a period of time. In fact, it is reported to be a leading cause of lung cancer, second only to smoking.

You should know, every house has some level of radon gas. The question is: how much? When the level of radon is elevated above a certain threshold, the EPA recommends further action be taken to reduce its presence.

While a home with elevated radon gas levels can be corrected, the cost to do so generally starts around $1500.00. Likewise, because a home has elevated levels does not mean you should walk away and keep looking.

Remember, every house has some level. The important thing is, you should test for it, understand its presence, risks and what corrective measures are available to you.

In performing our tests, you will find:

•	We use state of the art Continuous Radon Measurement (CRM) testing equipment.
•	We are a Certified New York State Environmental Laboratory for Air/Emissions - Radon Gas. ELAP ID 11927
•	Testing is performed under the direction of our Lab Director and a National Environmental Health Association Certified Radon Measurement Specialist.

Because we are the lab, we do not need to send the tests to a third party for interpretation. We undergo a rigorous qualifying program established by New York State and routine audits to maintain this certification. All to ensure you are provided with the best possible service and most accurate results available.

There is a great deal of information available about the effects of Radon Gas; where it is typically found, testing methods and procedures, as well as mitigation systems.
