Radon Testing

Radon Testing

Radon is a radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of the element radium which emanates from rocks and soils and tends to concentrate in enclosed spaces like our homes. Soil gas infiltration is recognized as the most important source of residential radon. Other sources, including building materials and water extracted from wells, are of less importance in most circumstances.
