Understand Your Results
What Does My Radon Results Mean?
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L).
Radon level |
What it Means? |
| Less than 2 pCi/L | Continue to consider periodic testing. |
| 2–4 pCi/L | Consider taking steps to reduce radon, particularly if levels remain elevated. |
| 4 pCi/L or higher | EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon. |
Is Any Level of Radon Safe?
There is no known completely safe level of radon exposure. The risk of lung cancer increases as radon levels and the length of exposure increase. The EPA recommends taking action when the radon level is 4 pCi/L or higher and recommends considering action when levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L.
What If My Result Is 4 pCi/L or Higher?
Don’t panic. Elevated radon levels can often be reduced. You may want to:
- Review your test results and make sure the test was conducted properly.
- Conduct additional testing as appropriate.
- Contact a qualified radon professional for assistance.
- Consider installing a radon mitigation system.
