I contacted 2 companies for a radon mitigation system, and Radon Professionals was the company that responded, was easy to schedule the initial evaluation, and their quote was within the normal ranges that I'd researched. They were very communicative throughout the process, and the system isn'...
Radon is a radioactive and deadly gas that you can’t see or smell, and it lurks undetected by normal household smoke or carbon monoxide detectors. The average person receives a higher dose of radiation from the radon levels in their home (long-term) than from the combined exposure to all...
The other important factor here is that I’ve done only one short-term test. Radon levels fluctuate with all kinds of factors, including the weather. We did have a day with 1.8 inches of rain, so that probably bumped it up some. When you do a single short-term test, the best thing ...
Radon became a topic of controversy because it was found to be a ubiquitous indoor air pollutant in homes, and broad control strategies were implemented, including testing of most homes and mitigation of those exceeding guideline levels. Risk assessments based on the studies of miners indicate that...
As such, it is perfectly normal for the mitigation system in your former home to cost different from the price to remediate the radon in your new home. Radon testing, mitigation, radon remediation, and removal depends on each house and the soil. Each radon reduction system is customized to ...
From the time a radon mitigation system is installed to when most of our customers state they’ve noticed lower levels of humidity tends to be a few months. The biggest indicator is typically that the dehumidifier is running consistently less than normal. Additionally, the musty basement smell ...
100 Typical indoor domestic exposure. Most countries have adopted a radon concentration of 200–400 Bq/m3 for indoor air as an Action or Reference Level. If testing shows levels less than 4 picocuries radon per liter of air (160 Bq/m3), then no action is necessary. A cumulated exposure ...
It is now established that CO may have more serious health consequences than the COHb formation, and at lower levels than that mediated through elevated COHb levels. The effects of prolonged exposures to indoor concentrations of CO on the health of normal individuals are different from short-term...
The reviews presented here have been written for a non-scientific audience. As such, in some cases, the specific language used may lack our normal precision for the sake of clarity. As will be seen, none of the papers support the argument that exposure to radon, as typically seen in resid...
Under normal conditions, the variations in the radon gas concentration are not considerable and mostly lie within the range of natural long-term fluctuations. There is also some insignificant migration of heavy radon gas by diffusion. As a result of additional stresses accumulated prior to ...
