Disclaimer: The uncertainty of this radon measurement is .+/-10%.
Factors contributing to uncertainty include, statistical variations,
daily and seasonal variations in radon concentrations, and operation of
the dwelling. Interference with test conditions may influence the test
results.
This report may only be transferred to a third party in its entirety.
Results Shown on this report represent levels of radon gas measured
between the dates shown in the room or area of the site identified above
as "Property Tested". Incorrect information will affect results. The
results may not be construed as either predictive or supportive of
measurements conducted in any area of this structure at any other time.
AccuStar Labs, its employees and agents are not responsible for the
consequences of any action taken or not taken based upon the results
reported or any verbal or written interpretation of the results.
What your test results mean
The average indoor radon level is estimated to be about 1.3 pCi/L, and
about 0.4 pCi/L of radon is normally found in the outside air. If the
results of your test show a radon level of approximately 4.0 pCi/L or
higher the EPA recommends that you perform a second short term test to
verify the radon level. If the second test results are equal to or
higher than the first, then you may be certain that you have a radon
problem and need to take action.
There are several methods that can be used to lower radon levels in your
home or office. Some techniques prevent radon from entering your home
while others reduce radon levels after it has entered. The EPA generally
recommends methods which prevent the entry of radon. Your state Radon
Agency can provide you with a number of references, resources and
licensed/certified contractors to evaluate your problem and recommend a
reduction method. The below listed references may be used to learn more
about the Radon problem, remediate the problem within your home or
office and provide sources for additional information. If you do not
have internet access, the state Radon Agencies phone numbers are listed
in the "Guide to the Dangers of Radon" booklet provided with your Radon
Test Kit.
