Frequently asked questions

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and underground rocks. It is dangerous because inhaling high concentrations can increase the risk of lung cancer.

Radon can enter homes through cracks and crevices in floors and walls, through spaces between the foundation and the floor, through water leaks, and even through sewage systems.

Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer, especially in non-smokers. Symptoms of radon exposure can include a persistent cough, difficulty breathing, and other respiratory problems.

A passive radon detector is a device that measures radon levels in a location without requiring electrical power or other active human intervention. It is placed in a room and left to collect data for 90 days.

Inside the detector is a detection plate, which is essentially a transparent plastic sheet that is chemically treated to allow the radioactive particles to register.

Place the detector in a representative location inside your home and let it run for 90 days. No further intervention is required from you during the data collection period.

The detector must be sent to our specialized laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will examine the detector and provide results of the radon levels in the air.

If your measured radon levels are high, we recommend that you contact our team for further advice and specific recommendations based on your situation. We will analyze the results and help you take appropriate corrective measures to reduce the radon concentration in your home.

The passive radon detector is a reliable and accurate tool for measuring radon levels in the air, provided it is used according to instructions and analyzed by a specialized laboratory.
