Long-Term Test
Radon testing is done through short-term or long-term tests. Short-term tests last two to seven days and quickly assess radon levels, useful for checking mitigation systems. For a more accurate measure of average radon exposure, long-term tests are recommended, lasting a minimum of three months during less ventilated seasons like fall or winter. This duration accounts for variations in radon levels and provides a reliable assessment of a home’s radon risk.

Your Radon Testing Questions Answered!
What is Radon Testing?
Radon testing is an essential procedure used to measure the concentration of radon gas within various structures, primarily homes or workplaces. According to Health Canada, radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that emanates naturally from the soil due to the decay of uranium. It can seep into buildings through cracks in the foundation, gaps in floors, or other openings, where it may accumulate to dangerous levels. Exposure to elevated levels of radon over time increases the risk of lung cancer, making testing crucial for ensuring indoor air quality and safeguarding human health.
Why is Radon Testing Necessary?
Radon testing is essential to identify potential health hazards associated with radon exposure. According to Lung Cancer Canada, prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer, making it imperative to assess and mitigate radon levels in indoor environments.
How Do I Test for Radon?
Radon testing can be conducted through various methods, including short-term and long-term testing. Short-term tests typically last from 2 to 7 days and provide a snapshot of radon levels, while long-term tests extend over several months to provide a more comprehensive assessment. Learn about different radon testing durations and techniques at EPA's Radon Testing webpage or Health Canada's Radon Testing webpage.
When Should I Test for Radon?
It is recommended to conduct radon testing during the cooler months when buildings are generally closed up, as this can provide more accurate results. However, testing can be performed at any time of the year to ensure the safety of occupants.
Where Should Radon Testing Devices be Placed?
Radon testing devices should be strategically placed in areas where occupants spend the most time, typically the lowest livable areas such as basements or ground floors. It's essential to follow specific guidelines for placement to obtain accurate readings. More information can be found on Health Canada's Radon webpage.
How Long Should Radon Testing Take?
The duration of radon testing depends on the method chosen and the desired level of accuracy. Short-term tests are convenient and provide quick results, while long-term tests offer a more thorough evaluation of radon levels over an extended period. Health Canada recommends conducting long-term radon testing to make informed decisions about radon mitigation measures.
What do Radon Test Results Mean?
Radon test results are typically measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m3) of air. In the United States, levels below 4 pCi/L are considered safe and in Canada, levels below 200 Bq/m3 are considered safe. Levels exceeding these threshold may warrant radon mitigation measures to reduce exposure risks. Use our online converter to convert between pCi/L and Bq/m3.
Can I Conduct Radon Testing Myself?
Yes, radon testing kits are available for purchase and are designed for use by homeowners and building occupants. However, it's crucial to follow instructions carefully to ensure accurate results. Professional radon testing services are also available for those seeking expert assessment and guidance. Find certified radon testing professionals in your area at Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP).
