Attention (June 1, 2026 - September 1, 2026): Summer Radon Testing 

SUMMER RADON TESTING: 6-MONTH RADON TEST RECOMMENDED

Common practice states that winter is the optimal time for radon testing. However, as we collect more data, we have determined little difference between winter and spring radon testing. We do, however, encourage our participants to test over seasonal change. At this time, the best and most accurate radon readings obtained during the spring and summer months are those that are longer than 6 months. With this, you have three options:

  • Complete a 180-day (6-month) radon test now.
  • Wait until September and complete a radon test lasting 91+ days (3 months).
  • Test for an entire year.

Thank you for your participation in our research. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions. 

Radon Exposure Results

See the Rate and Total Dose of Alpha Particle Radiation You are Absorbing from the Radon in Your Home.

Your Results

IMPORTANT: The estimated risks below apply to otherwise healthy adults, and are expected to be different (likely higher) for babies, children, and teens, as well as persons experiencing other lung health concerns.

Your current radon exposure is estimated to be below where a statistically significant increase in lifetime relative risk of lung cancer is evident for a typical adult who does not smoke tobacco.

Your absorbed alpha radiation dose (to the lungs) from residential radon gas inhalation is 0 mSv/yr.

You are below worldwide and national averages for radon inhalation exposure.

By living in your home(s) for 850 years, you will receive the equivalent dose of radiation from radon, as one CT scan to the abdomen, pelvis, spine, or heart

The blue in the chart above represents real radon exposure, as measured through people participating in the Evict Radon National Study. Yes, this means that there are Canadians experiencing higher radiation doses per year just from living in their homes, compared to an astronaut on the international space station.
