Radon Is a Cancer-Causing, Radioactive Gas: You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high. National Academy of Sciences Report on Radon: In February 1998, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) released its report on radon and lung cancer, The Health Effects of Exposure to Indoor Radon (the BEIR VI report). The NAS is an independent, non-governmental, scientific organization. The NAS estimates that radon causes between 15,000 and 22,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States and that 12 percent of all lung cancer deaths are linked to radon. After smoking, radon is the second leading cause of death due to lung cancer in the United States. You Should Test for Radon: Testing is the only way to find out your home’s radon levels. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes for radon. You Can Fix a Radon Problem: If you find that you have high radon levels, there are ways to fix a radon problem. Even very high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels. If You Are Selling a Home… EPA recommends that you test your home before putting it on the market and, if necessary, lower your radon levels. Save the test results and all information you have about steps that were taken to fix any problems. This could be a positive selling point. If You Are Buying a Home… EPA recommends that you know what the indoor radon level is in any home you consider buying. Ask the seller for their radon test results. If the home has a radon-reduction system, ask the seller for information they have about the system. If the home has not yet been tested, you should have the housed tested.

Keep your family safe with the Safety Siren combination gas detector. The model # HS80504 protects your home and family from dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide (often referred to as “The Silent Killer” because it is odorless, tasteless and colorless), in addition to Methane (Natural Gas), and Propane, the most common combustible gases found in the residential environment. Simply plug into any 110-volt wall socket and live with the confidence that your living quarters have an added level of protection from catastrophic gas leaks

According to the EPA, 1 out of 15 homes has high levels of radon gas. The long term radon gas analysis will measure the average radon level in your home over an extended period of time (3 months to 1 year), utilizing Alpha Track technology. If initial testing from short-term detector, such as used for real estate transactions, identifies high levels, a long-term follow up test may be warranted. Lab analysis is included in this safe and simple to use DIY test kit.

How it Works – The 3-12 month Alpha Track radon test kit is a diffusion-based track detector. The current improved design filters out dust and radon progeny through a structural filter that is an integral part of the housing, resulting in increased sturdiness. The housing is injection molded from electrically conducting plastic in order to minimize electrical charge effects from the positively charged radon progeny generated inside the detector. The hemispherical base is designed to maximize sensitivity and create a more uniform track distribution for better counting statistics.
The track detector foil inside the housing is from dosimetry-grade CR-39 cast specifically for our Laboratory. The sheets of CR-39 are laser cut and engraved with a unique batch number. Each batch is calibrated and receives its own calibration factor. All sheets are also checked for background tracks.
Accustar Labs is the only Radon Testing Lab in the United States to use electrochemical etching to process its alpha track foils which are subsequently counted with computer-aided image analysis equipment. This kind of system was found superior to chemically etched alpha track radon testing.
All test kit foils are counted using a computer-aided image analysis system.
Closed house conditions are not necessary during a long term test. Leave the test device exposed for 91 days to 12 months under normal living conditions.
Becasue of this unique and accurate testing process, please allow up to 10 business days (after the Lab receives your kit) to obtain results.
Returns: ALL SALES ARE FINAL. No returns will be accepted for these lab test kits. Should for any reason the lab test is not conducted within 2 weeks, you will receive a full refund.
The U.S. EPA has verified this product for accurate radon measurement. NELAP, NEHA & NRPP listed.

Digital Continuous Radon Gas Monitoring with Home Radon Alarm Protect your family from lung cancer from radon gas exposure with the only EPA evaluated radon gas alarm, the Safety Siren Pro 3 Electronic Radon Gas Detector from Family Safety Products. As seen on TV, this is not like a single use radon test detection kit: this digital radon gas monitor for home testing is a continuous radon tester that performs continuous radon gas monitoring. The clear, easily read digital radon level display shows short-term radon levels as well as long-term radon level averages. The Safety Siren electronic radon monitor gives its first radon reading after 48 hours of radon gas sampling. Radon gas in air or water is a health hazard resulting from uranium breaking down in soil. Exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. Continuous home radon monitoring is recommended in high radon areas or when radon mitigation systems are used. Radon gas levels change according to humidity and season. See in.Radon Facts in. below the radon monitor information. Family Safety Products’ Electronic Radon Meter Features: USA EPA Evaluated. Not for sale to residents of the State of Iowa nor for shipment to Iowa residents per Iowa Department of Public Health Rules, Chapters 43 (136B). Please contact the Iowa Department of Public Health at (515) 281-7689 for further information. Numeric LED radon gas detection level display range: .1 to 999.9 in pCi/L. Short and long term readings. Short-term readings: 7 day radon average. Long-term readings: radon averages since powered-up or last reset. 5-year maximum. Audible alarm if short or long-term radon gas averages are 4 pCi/L or greater. Continuously samples air . Display updates hourly. Failsafe self test: every 24 hours. Error code displays if test fails. 4 function menu button Green LED illuminates next to S (short-term) or L (long-term) display. User can manually test detector operation. Button to mute or reactivate audible alarm when unit is in alarm.
