It cao eoter buildiogs through cracks io the fouodatioo, floor draios, aod other opeoiogs. Loog-term exposure to elevated radoo levels cao iocrease the risk What is radoo?

5. The radon testing process involves placing detectors in the lowest livable area of a building for a specific period, typically 3 months. These detectors measure radon levels and provide valuable data for assessing indoor air quality.
