Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and just like smoking, radon poisoning can be easily and completely prevented by testing your home for radon. Waiting to test your home for radon can place your health (or your families health) at risk.
Every home should be tested for radon. Radon levels cannot be predicted based on state, city, or neighborhood that you live in. Do not rely on radon test results taken in your neighbors home to estimate the radon level in your home. Homes right next door to each other can have drastically different radon levels. Testing for radon is the ONLY WAY to find out what your home's radon level is.
Utah's soil contains 5 times higher concentrations of uranium and radium than the average level in the United States. The decay of that uranium is what supplies a constant source of radon. Utah has higher than average level of radon in homes, with 1 in 3 homes having levels that are considered a health risk by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Radon is a radioactive gas that rises into homes from uranium in the soil underneath the building. This gas can pass through a home’s foundation and may lead to lung diseases, including lung cancer, for those inside. Although it can pass through the foundation, the cement and other materials still slow radon entry into the […]
Radon is an odorless, colorless, radioactive gas created when uranium breaks down in soil and rocks. It enters homes through cracks and pores in the foundation and construction joints, and long-term exposure can lead to lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States! With such […]
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas created when uranium in soil decays. Uranium is found in varying levels in soil and rock worldwide but is present in high concentrations in Utah. As it decays, radon rises from the ground and into homes where it is inhaled and can cause lung cancer. In fact, one […]
