What is Radon?

"Radon is a gaseous radioactive element having the symbol Rn, the atomic number 86, an atomic weight of 222, a melting point of -71ºC, a boiling point of -62ºC, and (depending on the source, there are between 20 and 25 isotopes of radon - 20 cited in the chemical summary, 25 listed in the table of isotopes); it is an extremely toxic, colorless gas; it can be condensed to a transparent liquid and to an opaque, glowing solid; it is derived from the radioactive decay of radium and is used in cancer treatment, as a tracer in leak detection, and in radiography".

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It comes from the decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils.

Radon gas is colorless, odorless, and without taste. The presence of radon in a home cannot be detected by human senses. The only way to know if your home contains radon gas is to test.

EPA recommends that homes with high Radon concentration above 4 pCi/L be mitigated. There are many straight-forward reduction techniques that will work in almost any home.

Radalink Radon Monitors: Test Results You Can Depend On!

At Midwest Envirospect, we want to make radon testing reliable and accurate. Therefore, we use Radalink Radon Monitors which detect any unusual readings of radon, temperature and humidity caused by opening the surrounding windows.

Tilt and power sensors detect if the monitor is moved to a different location. Hourly barometric pressure readings will even help detect unusual radon averages due to extreme weather contitions. All data is reviewed for any sign of suspected tampering by our team of trained professionals.
