Makers of reliable home testing devices, First Alert can detect radon in your house. Radon testing devices are available at your local hardware stores or home centers. Purchase a kit that includes testing by a lab listed by the EPA, such as First Alert. Test with a short-term, two to three day charcoal monitor, following manufacturer's directions exactly. After testing time, reseal and send package to the lab specified on the package right away. You should receive the results within a few weeks. If the result is below 4pCi\L, you do not need to take action. If your test result is 4pCi\L or higher, take a second short-term test and average the results. If the result is 10pCi\L or higher, take this second test immediately. Short-term tests should be repeated a couple of times since radon levels can vary over time. If your radon level is still 4pCi\L or greater, you need to fix the problem. You can call your state radon office to obtain more information, including a list of EPA or state approved radon contractors or call the Radon Fix-It line, operated by the Consumer Federation of America at 1-800-644-6999 between noon and 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time for information and assistance. For more information about radon, call the EPA Radon Hotline at 1-800-SOS-RADON. That's 1-800-767-7236.
