Why you need Radon Mitigation

The average radon levels in Cass and Clay County are 5.4 and 5.8 Picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L)*.

The EPA recommends mitigation** for levels greater or equal to 4.0 pCi/L, but also recommend to consider radon mitigation on levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L.

*One pCi/l means that in one liter of air there will be 2.2 radioactive disintegrations each minute. For example, at 4 pCi/l there will be approximately 12,672 radioactive disintegrations in one liter of air, during a 24-hour period.

**Radon mitigation is any process used to reduce radon concentrations in the breathing zones of occupied buildings.
