Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Since radon typically comes out of the soil, it is most commonly found in the lower levels of a home. In houses with basements, that's a common location for radon. Homes built directly on the ground may have radon on the ground floors. Radon can be found on the upper floors of the home, but often in lower concentrations than in lower levels.

Properties should ideally be tested for radon every 2 to 5 years or sooner when changes to the property structure or ventilation occur that might impact airflow.

What is radon? It’s a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the ground, forming as uranium and thorium decay. It has no color or odor, so you don’t know if it’s seeping into your building’s foundation. Regular exposure to radon gas increases your chances of suffering from lung cancer. Radon testing measures the air inside your house for the presence of radon gas. If detected, the test will measure the severity of radon levels in your home’s air.

Testing every 2-5 years or upon adjusting occupancy or structural changes maintains safe environments.

Using an air purifier in your home or basement isn't an effective way to reduce or mitigate radon. Radon is an inert gas, meaning it doesn't react with other chemicals and can't be filtered the way particulates can be. While an air purifier can help improve your indoor air quality in other ways, don't rely on it to reduce radon.
