Radon Testing in Boston MA
Radon Testing Boston Residents can Count On
After a long day’s work, your home is a place of refuge and
relaxation. But what if there was something invisible, odorless and impossible
for you to detect that was putting you, your family and even your pets at risk?
This invisible culprit is radon, a natural
occurring radioactive gas common in and around the Boston, MA area, impacting
homes and businesses both old and new.
With over 30 years of
experience, New England Radon knows a thing or two about radon detection, radon
testing, and radon mitigation and has proudly contributed to the safety and
well-being of local residents for decades.
What is Radon?
Many homeowners in Boston are confused as to what radon is, or whether or not it is something that should concern them. At New England Radon we’re here to set the record straight. Radon, is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found throughout the United States.
This gas is emitted from decaying uranium, a mineral, dispersed throughout soil and rocks. This gas is both odorless and colorless, making it impossible to detect without professional inspection.
As it is emitted the gas rises through the soil and out into the air above ground. Through this process is can and does seep into buildings such as homes and businesses through foundational cracks and other openings.

Who Has to Worry About Radon in their Home?
Because radon is a common andradon testing in Boston MA naturally occurring phenomenon, many areas across the United States are at risk, including Boston, MA.
According to the EPA, as many as 1 in 3 homes sampled across seven states had radon levels detected at measures exceeding the EPA’s recommended level for exposure. Because of this, both the US Surgeon General and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommend that ALL homes be tested below the third level for radon.
Professional inspection by an experienced radon detection and mitigation company, such as New England Radon, is the only way to know for sure if you and your family are at risk.
Why is Radon so Dangerous?
When in open areas where radon can rise and then disperse into the outdoors where it quickly dissipates, radon is largely not an issue at all. However, when radon seeps into homes and businesses, especially those less well ventilated, it collects and concentrations rise to dangerous levels.
Common Ways Radon Gets Inside Homes
• Sump pits
• Dirt floors
• Slab joints
• Block walls
• Openings and cracks in flooring
• Cracks or poor seals in foundations
The Dangers of Radon Gas
Radon results in producing radioactive dust that is then breathed in. This radioactive material stays in our airways and lungs causing genetic damage at the cellular level.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General’s Office, it is estimated that each year radon is the cause of up to 20,000 lung cancer deaths nationwide.
Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths each year than radon.
