What is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive element that is part of the radioactive decay chain of naturally occurring uranium in soil. Youn can't see radon. Ou can't smell radon and you can't taste radon. Unlike carbon monoxide and many other home pollutants, radon's adverse health effect, lung cancer, is usually not produced immediately. Thus you may be exposed to radon for many years without ever suspecting its presence in your home.
Getting a radon test or mitigation
The EPA recommends hiring state licensed or NEHA-NRPP or NRSB certified radon testing and mitigation professionals. The state of Illinois require that any person who anticipates conducting radon-related measurements, mitigations, or laboratory analysis services shall receive the license prior to providing services in Illinois.
Testers
IEMA strongly recommends ALL homebuyers have an indoor radon test performed prior to purchase or taking occupancy of your new home. It is not in the best interest of the buyer or seller to rely on a radon measurement performed by anyone other than a licensed measurement professional. EBI residential radon test are performed using Sun Nuclear's 1028 and 1029 electronic radon testers. They are programmable for duration, interval, and delay. Once the test is completed the licensed technician will print and explain the results to you.
