The only way to know if your new home has a radon problem is to test. The EPA recommends that average annual indoor radon levels don not exceed 4 pCi/L.

If your home is built with a passive radon system, you should test it immediately after moving in.

Remember: if your radon level is 4 pCi/L or above, a fan can be installed easily to lower radon levels well below this guideline.

Radon can enter your new house through cracks or openings in the foundation.

The differences in the air pressure between a building and the soil around it also play an important role.

Exposure to radon gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking) in the United States.

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the soil. Every year, 14,000 people die from radon-related lung cancer.

Radon usually does not present a health risk outdoors because it is diluted with our atmosphere. Radon, however, can build up to dangerous levels inside a house.
