Measure first. Then decide what to do.
You cannot detect indoor radon by sight or smell. Its concentration may differ between buildings, rooms and individual days. The location of a house or a single momentary reading therefore does not tell you enough about long-term exposure.
This category explains what radon is, where to begin measuring, how to understand changing readings and when to seek a professional assessment. A longer measurement period matters when estimating a long-term average; the World Health Organization recommends at least three months.
Where does radon enter?
Learn how radon can enter a building from the ground and why rooms near ground level matter for an initial check.
Follow the trend
Compare short-term readings with longer monitoring and learn what a home radon detector can show.
Choose the next step
If measurements indicate elevated levels, consider professional testing and suitable measures for the building.
