Radon Test
Radon gas is an odorless, tasteless, invisible, radioactive gas released into the ground as a by-product of uranium decay. It has been determined to be the second leading cause, after smoking, of lung cancer. Radon testing can be performed using our Continuous Read machine or with Charcoal Absorption Canisters. The results of test with the Continuous Read machine can be known in 48 hours after the test is started. The canisters are placed in a house for 2-6 days, after which they are sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. The results are typically available within 7 to 10 days of the completion of the test.
