Q: Why is radon gas abatement necessary for homes?

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

• <div><p>No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. 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 action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.</p></div>

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: Do air purifiers help with radon?

• <div><p>No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.</p></div>
