Stages That Are Used When Doing Radon Testing

Stages That Are Used When Doing Radon Testing


by Della Monroe


This gas is commonly created naturally from radioactivity that occur in the soil. It is the breakdown of an element called uranium that is found soil. The gas is odorless, it cannot be seen be naked eyes since its colorless and it cannot be detected through testing since its lacks taste. This results from decaying process of uranium. Radon testing is very dangerous as it can cause lung cancer to both smokers and non smokers.

The gas occurs basically naturally as decay product or even element of radium. Radium is basically and element which is known to be unstable. Radium is has some isotope which is known to stable. Radon is believed to be very dense and it usually remains in gaseous state when conditions are maintained under room temperature. Intense or vigorous radioactivity has been known to tamper or hinder studies of composition of chemicals found in this gas hence resulting to few compounds being clearly identified.

Outdoors has no serious risk of contracting lung cancer since it is already in a dilute state. But when it comes to the inside of the houses, it gets concentrated and builds up to the levels which are very harmful. Sometimes it finds the way via the spaces of crawl, the gaps that exists in between the floors of the basement and the walls, pumps for the sump as well as the sources that supplies water indoors.

After that, one is required to do an average of both tests. If it happens that the resultant figure that is got is four or any other that is above that, the home owner will have to make some fixations.

One is referred to as short term and may include the canisters of charcoal and they are used for a period of less than seven days. The other type is the long term one and this usually is used for duration ranging from a hundred days to an entire year.

Testing is known to be the only sure way of identifying radon in your house and to determine the levels of that gas in your house. EPA and also surgeon general have recommended testing of almost all houses that are below third floor for this kind of gas.

The instructions that come along with it should be clear on how setting up will be done. There is need to ensure that you have labeled the dates from which the usage began and when it is required to get terminated. Immediately after the job is done, it is recommended that it should be taken to the lab.

This gas if tested and detected earlier can be managed and controlled. The system used for reducing the levels of such a gas has been proved to work and they are very efficient. Some reduction techniques used has been found to reduce this gas levels in peoples home. Even high levels are used to a minimal level that is acceptable.
