Q: Can I perform radon gas abatement myself?

• <div><p>While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.</p></div>

Q: What is considered a safe or dangerous level of radon?

• <div><p>No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.</p></div>

Q: What are the risks of radon?

• <div><p>Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don&rsquo;t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.</p></div>

Q: What is the biggest source of radon?

• <div><p>The soil beneath your house is most likely what&rsquo;s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it&rsquo;s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn&rsquo;t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.</p></div>

"I used Scope Environmental recently to test floor tile and the underlying mastic to determine if either contained asbestos. I selected Scope because Jeff was very responsive, professional, independent of the abatement companies and his price was competitive. Jeff suggested testing both the tiles and mastic. The tiles tested positive for asbestos but the mastic contained no asbestos. As a result, I saved considerable expense by abating the tiles only and not the mastic so I also used Scope again for the post abatement air testing rather than the abatement company. I would hire Scope again for material and air testing for asbestos, mold or any other potentially toxic materials."
