Radon Mitigation

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking. High exposure to radon can be the equivalent to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. 1 in 3 homes tested in Maine show results that are too high. Over 4 pCi/L in the air and 4,000 pCi/L in water are dangerous for humans. This is higher than the safe working levels of a nuclear power plant by comparison. If they won’t let nuclear plant workers work in it, it’s definitely too high for you to live in. Your neighbors test result may have no bearing on your own. Radon seeps in from underground. It can go through rock and concrete, and into the basement of your home and up into your living space. It can also contaminate your water source, bringing it into your home through your well.
