5. Avoid testing near heat sources and areas with high humidity like bathrooms and kitchens.
6. Return your test sample to the lab immediately after completing the test exposure.

Radon Risk Information - Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. The US EPA, the Surgeon General and the Minnesota Department of Health strongly recommend taking further action when a homes radon test results are 4.0 pCi/l or greater. The concentration of radon in the home is measured in pico curies per liter of air (pCi/l). Radon levels less than 4.0 pCi/l still pose some risk and in many cases may be reduced. If the radon level in the home is between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/l, the EPA still recommends that you consider fixing your home.
