Notes:
The amount of radon in the air is measured in
“picocuries per liter of air”or “pCi/L”. The risk
of contracting lung cancer from radon depends
on how much radon is in your home, the amount of
time you spend in your home, and whether you are
a smoker or have ever smoked. The EPA recommends
to take action to reduce radon in your home if the
level is 4 pCi/L or higher. Even radon levels below
4 pCi/L pose some risk because there is no safe
level of radon.
