Radon is a radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and is impossible to detect without sensitive test equipment. Radon gas rises through the soil and seep through cracks, holes and drain pipes in the foundation or basement. Continuous radon monitoring is recommended in high radon areas or when radon mitigation systems are used. Radon gas levels change based on humidity and season. Health Canada suggests that corrective action be taken to reduce radon levels over 200Bq/m3. LCD display radon gas detection level display range: 0.0 to 9999.9 pCi/L.
