Why Long-Term Testing
Radon fluctuates daily and seasonally. Short tests (2–7 days) capture a snapshot and can over- or under-estimate exposure. A ~90-day test smooths these swings to deliver a dependable average suitable for health decisions.
Placement Guide
- Use one detector per regularly occupied level (e.g., basement family room and main floor).
- Preferred rooms: living rooms, family rooms, or frequently used bedrooms.
- Height: 2–7 ft (0.6–2 m) above the floor; at least 20 in (50 cm) from walls.
- Avoid direct sunlight, drafts, exterior doors/windows, vents, and heat sources.
When To Test
- Anytime, with heating season often showing higher radon and a conservative estimate.
- Test when buying/selling a home, after renovations or air-sealing, or if you’ve never tested.
Understanding Your Results
Results are reported in Bq/m³ (most international/Canada) and pCi/L (United States).
| Region | Reference Level | Typical Action |
|---|---|---|
| Canada | 200 Bq/m³ | Mitigation recommended at or above this level. |
| United States | 4.0 pCi/L (≈ 148 Bq/m³) | Mitigation recommended at or above this level. |
If your result is near the threshold, consider a follow-up test or consult a certified mitigation professional.
