EPA RECOMMENDED ACTION GUIDELINE
RADON HEALTH RISK INFORMATION
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the Surgeon General strongly recommend taking further action when the home's radon test results are 4.0
pCi/L or greater. The concentration of radon in the home is measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L). Radon levels
less than 4.0 pCi/L still pose some risk and in many cases may be reduced. If the radon level in your home is between
2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L, the EPA recommends that you consider fixing your home. The national average indoor radon level is
about 1.3 pCi/L. The higher a home's radon level, the greater the health risk to you and your family. Smokers and former
smokers are at especially high risk. There are straightforward ways to fix a home's radon problem that are not too costly.
Even homes with very high levels can be reduced to below 4.0 pCi/L. The EPA recommends that you use an EPA or
State -approved contractor to fix radon problems.
