Radon Detector | Radon Testing Kit | Radon Mitigation

A Radon Detector is used to find traces of Radon. Radon is a chemical element in the periodic table
that has the symbol Rn and atomic number 86.

What is Radon?

Radon is a gas produced
by the radioactive decay
of the element radium.

(Source: USGS)
Radioactive decay is a natural, spontaneous process in which an atom of one element decays or breaks down to form another element by losing atomic particles (protons, neutrons, or electrons). When solid radium decays to form radon gas, it loses two protons and two neutrons.

These two protons and two neutrons are called an alpha particle, which is a type of radiation. The elements that produce radiation are called radioactive. Radon itself is radioactive because it also decays, losing an alpha particle and forming the element polonium. Radon levels in outdoor air, indoor air, soil air, and ground water can be very different.

Radon Detectors and Radon Testing Kits are used to detect Radon in homes and other buildings.

The decay of each radioactive element occurs at a very specific rate. How fast an element decays is measured in terms of the element "half-life", or the amount of time for one half of a given amount of the element to decay. Uranium has a half-life of 4.4 billion years, so a 4.4-billion-year-old rock has only half of the uranium with which it started. The half-life of radon is only 3.8 days. If a jar was filled with radon, in 3.8 days only half of the radon would be left. But the newly made daughter products of radon would also be in the jar, including polonium, bismuth, and lead. Polunium is also radioactive - it is this element, which is produced by radon in the air and in people's lungs, that can hurt lung tissue and cause lung cancer.

Geologic Radon Potential

The U.S. Geological Survey has compiled a series of geologic radon potential assessments for the United States in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The geologic radon potential reports describe the geology, soils, radioactivity, generalized housing construction characteristics, and other relevant information, and include discussions of the geologic factors controlling radon potential in each state. The geologic radon potential areas are defined by geologic boundaries, so that rock and soil units with similar radon generation and transport characteristics are grouped and delineated in the reports.
