Should I be Concerned about Radon Levels in our Area?

Statewide testing in Missouri has revealed approximately 18 percent of houses have potentially dangerous radon levels.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated St. Louis county as a “Zone 2” level for radon. This designation means the prevalence of radon in homes may be in the range of 2 to 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The EPA has an “action level” of 4 pCi/L for indoor air quality.

Testing is the only way to find out if radon is present in your home. For more information on radon test kits contact me at mike@cribbinrealty.com.
