The AT-100 Long-Term Alpha Track Kit from AccuStar Labs has been rated #1 by a leading national consumer advocacy group. Both the EPA and Health Canada recommend long-term testing as the most reliable way to measure radon exposure, since it accounts for seasonal and lifestyle changes. Unlike short-term tests, you don’t need to maintain closed-house conditions during testing.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and groundwater. It’s invisible, odorless, and tasteless—making it impossible to detect without proper testing. Despite being undetectable by our senses, radon is a serious health hazard.
According to the Government of Canada, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second-leading cause of lung cancer overall. It typically seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, construction joints, gaps around service pipes, floor drains, sumps, and wall cavities. Indoor air pressure pulls radon in from the surrounding soil, allowing it to accumulate indoors.
Because exposure often happens slowly and without warning, testing your home is the only way to know if you’re at risk. Taking this step is essential for safeguarding your household’s long-term health.
