Colorado Springs Radon Awareness

The Bottom Line – Have your home tested for Radon.

If you are buying a home, own a home, or selling a home you should consider having it tested for Radon. This includes homes that currently have radon mitigation systems installed.

Why? 

The majority of Colorado is identified as Zone 1. This means that the majority of Colorado counties including El Paso County, Teller County, Douglas County, and Pueblo County have a predicted average indoor radon screening levels greater than 4 pCi/L. No level of radon is safe however 4pCi/L is considered the actionable level by the EPA. 

​ According to the EPA "You can’t see, smell or taste radon, but it could be present at a dangerous level in your home. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America and claims the lives of about 21,000 Americans each year. In fact, the EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General urge all Americans to protect their health by testing their homes, schools and other buildings for radon." "Exposure to radon is a preventable health risk and testing radon levels in your home can help prevent unnecessary exposure. If a high radon level is detected in your home, you can take steps to fix the problem to protect yourself and your family."
