Radon Testing for Homes: New and Old
As awareness of indoor air quality issues grows, radon testing has emerged as a crucial health and safety procedure for both new and older homes. IAQCert’s Certified Radon Investigation Technician (CRIT) course offers comprehensive training for anyone looking to understand or provide radon testing services.
Why Radon Testing is Essential
Health Risks of Radon: Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. It can accumulate to dangerous levels inside any home, regardless of age or condition, making regular testing essential.
Importance for New and Older Homes:
- New Homes: While newer homes may have modern ventilation, they can still trap radon indoors if built on radon-prone land. Testing ensures that mitigation systems are functioning correctly.
- Older Homes: Aging structures might develop pathways that allow more radon to enter from the ground. Continuous monitoring and testing in older homes are crucial to assess these risks and implement necessary updates or repairs.
