For Homeowners
Recommended Radon Testing for Homeowners
The US Surgeon General and US EPA recommend that all homes be tested for radon. Simple, accurate test kits from AccuStar provide certified results for short term or long term tests. If you need quicker results, use the short term test kit for a 2-day exposure under closed house conditions. If you would like to know the average radon concentration in your home across different seasons, use the long term test kit for a 3-month, up to one year exposure. We recommend two types of testing devices for homeowners, Liquid Scintillation Vials for short term testing and Alpha Tracks for long term testing.
Short Term Liquid Scintillation
- Easy-to-use device for faster test results
- Test Duration: 2-4 days
- Puchase a short term Liquid Scintilation test kit
Long Term Alpha Track
- A good indication of your exposure to radon across several seasons and living conditions
- Test Duration: 90 - 360 days
- Purchase a long term test kit
