Do you have Radon Gas?

According to the EPA, the average indoor radon level in South Dakota is 9.8 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), which is more than double the recommended safety level. The EPA considers radon levels of 4 pCi/L or higher to be most hazardous, but any level can pose a risk. The EPA also recommends that Americans consider fixing their home for radon levels between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L. 

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it invisible. It can damage health over time, and living in a home with South Dakota's average level of radon is like having 300 chest x-rays each year. 

Any home can have a radon problem, including new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. Radon mitigation systems can be installed to help reduce radon levels.
