Long-Term Radon Gas Test Kit
|
Long-Term Test Kit offers protection for and extended period of time (3 months to 1 year). If the test results from an earlier short term test detector warrant a long-term follow test, this is the test for you. Radon gas contains radioactive particles which get trapped in your lungs every time you breatheAs the radon gas particles break down, they release bursts of radiation that damage or destroy your lung tissue which causes lung cancer, and long-term exposure may even cause deathIn fact, the EPA has estimated that radon causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year and that radon gas is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokersThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that you test your home at least once per year since according to the EPA, 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States has high levels of radon gasRadon gas can be found in varying amounts in every state in the U.S. killing up to 30,000 people each yearAlthough short-term radon gas detectors are excellent for initial screening (real estate transactions) to determine if potentially harmful levels of radon exist in your home, radon levels can vary dramatically over a short period of timeIf your initial test results from the short-term detectors warrant a long-term follow-up test, an extended test with a long-term detector kit is recommended for more conclusive resultsTo use: simply tear open the clear bag that contains the black detector and hang or place it three feet away from exterior doors or windows and at least two feet off the floorLeave the detector in place and undisturbed for three to twelve months
