What Is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil, rock, and water. Radon rises from the soil underneath homes and gets into the air you breathe. Radon is invisible, tasteless, and odorless. In Colorado, about half the homes have elevated radon levels above the EPA’s recommended action level of 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). According to the CDC, Surgeon General, and the EPA, Radon is highly radioactive and is the second leading cause of cancer after smoking. It’s estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States.

What are radon levels?

There is no “safe” level of radon/radon exposure. It is recommended to have the lowest level of Radon possible to reduce the health risks. The term radon levels refers to the amount of radon that is present in a given area. Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter pCi/L. A Curie is a measurement of radioactivity. A picocurie is 1-trillionth of a curie.

A trillionth of a picocurie sounds like a small number but when exposed to high radon levels for a significant amount of years it is proven to show significant health impacts to your lungs and should be taken very seriously.

How Radon Enters Your Home:

Radon moves from uranium-bearing granite deposits in the soil to the atmosphere. Your home sits on radon’s pathway from the soil to the atmosphere. Your home is usually warmer and has lower air pressure than the surrounding soil, so gases in the soil, including radon, move into your home.

The most common routes are:

Spaces between basement walls and the slab.
Cracks in foundations and/or walls.
Openings around sump pumps and drains.
Construction joints and plumbing penetrations.
Crawl spaces.
Well, water with high radon concentrations.
The age and/or type of home don’t matter when it comes to whether high levels of radon are present.

Many often think of radon exposure as being an issue exclusive to residential properties. After all, since it is where we spend much of our time, it would make sense that we are most at risk for long-term exposure in the confines of our homes. However, the reality is that commercial properties are just as susceptible to radon as any other property. Whether for a storefront, school, hospital, or office building, indoor radon exposure can pose a major threat to your staff and customers.
