Radon Program
Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer, and 1 in 3 Homes in Utah have elevated Radon Levels. You can’t smell it, taste it, or see it.
The EPA and the State of Utah suggest residents consider radon mitigation for radon levels greater than 4 picocuries (pCi/L). If your radon levels are between 4 and 6 picocuries consider doing a long-term radon test. Long-term radon tests show your home's year-round radon exposure. For more information on a long-term test kit please reach out to Eleanor Divver, [email protected]. If your radon levels are below 4 picocuries, retest your dwelling every two to five years.
