Radon: (Extra Cost, Not Included With Standard Home Inspection)

What is radon? Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, smell, or taste. It comes from the earth itself, rising up all around us, part of the natural chain of radioactive decay: uranium decaying to radium, then to radon gas, finally to radioactive lead. What are acceptable levels? The EPA action level is 4 picoCuries of radon per liter of air (4.0pCi/L). Readings below 4.0 are acceptable and readings above 4.0 are not.

Can radon be harmful? Yes. The EPA estimates that up to 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year may be caused by long term radon exposure.
