When should you test for radon? Five key moments

Radon is an invisible, odourless gas that can cause serious health problems if present in high concentrations indoors. It forms naturally when uranium in bedrock breaks down, entering buildings through their foundations, construction materials, or household water supply. As radon cannot be smelled, tasted, or seen, the only reliable way to detect it is to measure its concentration. There are…

Why you should measure radon at least every two to five years Measurement

Why you should measure radon at least every two to five years

Measuring radon regularly is crucial to ensure that radon levels in a home or building remain below recommended reference values. Radon is an invisible and odorless gas that forms when uranium breaks down in the soil and can enter buildings through cracks, foundations, and ventilation systems. Elevated radon levels can have serious health consequences, including an increased risk of lung…

The measuring season begins – now is the time to find out the radon level in homes and workplaces

Radon can be measured year-round, but if you want a good estimation of an annual average value for the radon level in your home or workplace, then you should measure during at least three of the heating season months (winter months). This enables employers, schools, property owners, condominium associations and homeowners to get a full overview of the radon within…

Why Should Radon Be Measured During the Winter Half of the Year? MeasurementNews

Why Should Radon Be Measured During the Winter Half of the Year?

Radon can be measured throughout the year. However, to obtain an annual average value of radon levels in a home or workplace, it should be measured during what is called the “heating season” for at least two months. Other countries, such as Canada, recommend measuring for 91 days and longer. The timing of the heating season can vary slightly between…
