What Is Radon? How to Check a Home for This Silent and Deadly Threat

Article courtesy of Realtor.com

It may sound like something straight out of “Star Wars,” but radon is actually a dangerous radioactive chemical that lurks far closer to home—in fact, it could be in your home right now. And there’s very good reason to learn more about this silent threat: Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America, claiming about 21,000 lives each year. As it happens, January is National Radon Action Month. To acknowledge this month, let’s review the steps on how to check your home for this deadly substance, and what to do if you find it (don’t worry, there’s no need to don a hazmat suit just yet).

What is it?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the decay of uranium found in nearly all soils, says Bruce Snead, director of National Radon Program Services at Kansas State University. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above, but it can also enter your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation, where it can become trapped and build up. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some regions are more prone to radon than others, but there is no way to project whether your particular home may have an elevated level of radon, no matter where you live.

“Any home may have high radon—new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, homes with any type of foundation,” Snead says.

How to test for radon (and when)

Experts recommend that you test for radon if you’re buying, selling, building, or renovating a house. But first, check if a test has been done already—the current seller or developer may know the answer. It’s important to verify when the test was conducted, as the recommendation is to test homes every two years or if the place has been altered or renovated since the last test.

“New heating systems, new siding, new windows, and insulation can all impact the radon levels in the home and unfortunately, in some cases, can cause them to increase,” says Tamara Linde,
