Radon Information

What is Radon?

Radon is an odorless and invisible radioactive gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water. Radon can get trapped inside homes and buildings, and build up in the air. Over time, breathing in high levels of radon can cause lung cancer. All outdoor and indoor air has some radon in it.

Risks of radon in Rochester, NY and surrounding areas:

Radon is everywhere, both indoors and outdoors, but higher exposure is likely to be greater at home.
Some New York basements tested had five times the amount of radon that government and health groups consider dangerous.
About 13.9% of radon test results in New York equal or exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 4 pCi/L.
The risk associated with exposure to radon increases with increasing radon concentration, so the higher the average radon level in a house, the greater the risk to the occupants.
