These kits may be less expensive, but the results may not be accurate. For perfect grading, it is best to avail Spyglass Property Inspections for Chicago Radon Testing Services.

Radon Is A Radioactive Gas | Test. Fix. Save A Life now with Spyglass Property Inspections Radon Testing Chicago, surrounding suburbs!

Radon is a radioactive element that is part of the radioactive decay chain of naturally occurring uranium in soil. You can’t see radon.  You can’t smell radon and you can’t taste radon. Unlike carbon monoxide and many other property 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 property.

The USEPA action level for radon is 4.0 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L).  The risk of developing lung cancer at 4.0 pCi/L is estimated at about 7 lung cancer deaths per 1000 persons.  That is why USEPA and IEMA recommend reducing your radon level if the concentration is 4.0 pCi/L or more.  Lung cancer in humans arising from radon exposure is recognized by the following health and environmental organizations:
  • American Medical Association
  • U.S. Surgeon General
  • U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
  • U.S. Public Health Service
  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
  • Center for Disease Control
  • National Academy of Science
  • National Cancer Institute
  • World Health Organization

Even if your new property is located in an area not in red as indicated by the EPA, you should still test your property for elevated levels of Radon. Testing is relatively inexpensive, easy and is the only way to know whether you are at risk. Your Family’s Life Is Worth It!
