Pro Series Radon Detector
The new Pro Series 4 Electronic Radon Gas Detector is a quality product made in the USA that continuously samples the air and plugs into a standard 120-volt household outlet. It displays short- and long-term radon gas concentration levels in (Bq/m³) or pCi/L with an easy-to-read numeric LED-lit display. The detector has multiple alarm modes and a warning icon to alert for high radon readings over 200 Bq/m3. ​​
Radon is a radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and is impossible to detect without the use of sensitive test equipment.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon gas rises through the soil and seeps through cracks, holes, and drain pipes in the foundation or basement. When allowed to accumulate at high levels, it can be hazardous to long-term health. Radon is the second cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking.
The EPA presently suggests that corrective action be taken to reduce the radon levels in your home; If measured over the long term at 4 pCi/L or greater in the USA. Health Canada has established that acceptable levels of radon in the house are not to exceed 200 Bq/m³.
