continuous radon monitor (CRM)

---

 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas.  When elevated, it becomes the second leading cause of lung cancer.  It is a tasteless and odorless gas derived from the radioactive decay of radium.
 

 Testing during a real estate transaction requires a short-term radon test.
A continuous radon monitor (CRM) is placed in the lowest possible living area of the home.
The testing period is a minimum of 48 hours.
Results will indicate an EPA level that is either safe or elevated
Homes where the lowest living area exceeds 2,000 square feet, a second monitor will be used.
Mitigation and/or retesting will be recommended for elevated levels. PVC piping and an inline fan are installed to keep radon levels at a safe level, below 4.0 pCi/L.
