The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends performing a radon gas measurement if you are buying or selling a home. New Jersey home inspectors<\/a> should be licensed to perform NJ Radon Testing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Radon is a radioactive gas that is found in homes all over the United States. Radon comes from the decomposition of uranium in the soil and enters the home through cracks and other openings such as basement floor slab cracks, and other openings such as floating slab gaps and sump pits. Any home can have a radon problem including newer homes and older homes. Here in NJ roughly 1 in 13 homes has a radon concentration over the EPA action level of 4 pCi per liter of air.<\/p>\n Radon levels cannot be predicted based on state, neighborhood or location. Radon levels will vary from home to home. Do not rely on radon measurements that were taken in surrounding homes. Homes that are next to each other will have differing radon levels. Testing is the only way to determine the actual radon levels in the home.<\/p>\n The EPA recommends correcting the home if radon gas concentrations are over 4 pCi per liter of air or higher. Radon concentrations less than 4 pCi per liter of air still present a health risk and consideration should be given to taking steps to lower them as well. Correcting radon under 4 pCi is not required but should be considered.<\/p>\n The EPA estimates that radon causes thousands of cancer related deaths each year in the United States. In fact, this number is roughly 21,000 cancer related deaths per year attributable to high radon gas concentrations.<\/p>\n Radon is a human carcinogen and a cancer-causing radioactive gas. When you breathe in air that contains high levels of radon you increase your risk in contracting lung cancer. Radon is actually the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. This risk is especially high if a person smokes and there are high levels of radon gas in their home.<\/p>\n New Jersey home inspectors<\/a> should test for radon gas when performing home inspections in New Jersey. Testing is the only way to determine what the radon levels are in a home. If radon concentrations are high there are ways to correct the issue.<\/p>\n The EPA recommends that you know what the radon levels are in a home that you are buying. The radon test should be placed in the lowest level where a person would occupy. This is considered the lowest living level<\/p>\n
