How do I test for Radon?

Testing is easy and inexpensive using radon test kits. Radon levels in a home change over time. They can increase and decrease from one day to the next. For this reason, testing over a longer period of time is most accurate. Health Canada recommends homeowners do a long-term radon test (for at least three months) during the fall or winter. Place the detector in the lowest area of the home where you or a member your family spends on average four hours each day. Testing instructions are included in your test kit.
