Radon Test Kit

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. Radon is estimated to cause thousands of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year.*

You cannot see radon, you can't smell it or taste it. But radon may be a problem in your home. Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. That's because when you breathe air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths.

You should test for radon. Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon. EPA also recommends testing in schools.
Testing is inexpensive and easy - it should only take a few minutes of your time. Millions of Americans have already tested their homes for radon.

This radon test kit is for you if you want to know if your home is affected by radon.

Radon Test Kit Features:

• Includes all test materials.
• No additional fees required.
• Safe and easy to use.
• Set kit out for 48 hours and mail in for results.
• EPA listed, listed under EPA Radon Gas Measurement Proficiency Program

You can fix a radon problem. Radon reduction systems work and they are not too costly. Some radon reduction systems can reduce radon levels in your home by up to 99%. Even very high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels.

If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.

Radon can be found all over the U.S. Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon can be found all over the U.S. It can get into any type of building - homes, offices, and schools - and result in a high indoor radon level. But you and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposure at home, where you spend most of your time.

EPA Recommends:

• Test your home for radon -- it's easy and inexpensive.
• Fix your home if your radon level is 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.
• Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced.

* Radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year, according to EPA's 2003 Assessment of Risks from Radon in Homes (EPA 402-R-03-003). The numbers of deaths from other causes are taken from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 1999-2001 National Center for Injury Prevention and Control Report and 2002 National Safety Council Reports.

Radon Test Kit- Good for the Price - 11/11/2011
Reviewer: Wayne Gudgel
I ordered and received a radon test kit from First Alert and have deployed it in my basement as a second test- less than half the price of the first radon test kit I purchased from another manufacturer.

I bought this radon test kit online. Website was easy to navigate and purchase was simple. Setting the test up was easy and the instructions were very thorough. I will be purchasing another kit for further testing as it is recommended to test yearly.

My last test kits from Kansas State U were $15 each including ALL postage. First Alert I had to pay postage to recieve and mail back plus $10 to State of NJ total $28. Big difference and the kit was not as good.

Reviewer: Larry DelBaggio
The kit was easy to use. We sent the kit to the testing lab and already got our results back. Because of the ease of use and quick results I am now purchasing a long term test kit.

Easy as Pie - 06/09/2011
Reviewer: Bruce Batty
RAn a test to verify one done by a home inspector and glad I did. The results were significantly different than his and we were subsequently able to confirm the Firts Alert test results with yet a 3rd test. Instructions were understandable and getting the resuls on-line made it very easy. Results were provided in a timely manner too!
