Radon Tests and Reports
What are Radon Tests And Reports Based Upon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you cannot see, hear, feel or taste. It comes from the minute amounts of uranium that occur in all rocks and soils. Radon is present in all parts of the UK although the gas disperses outdoors so levels are generally very low to investigate this you can obtain Radon Tests And Reports Via NLIS. We all breathe it in throughout our lives. For most UK residents, Radon accounts for half of their total annual radiation dosage however, geological conditions in certain areas can lead to higher than average levels of Radon gas. NLIS can offer you Radon And Test Reports for this then they can return the results to you within an email as quickly as possibly.
What Can This Gas Do If Radon Tests And Reports Are Not Carried Out?
Exposure to particularly high levels of Radon increase the risk of developing lung cancer and it’s proved that an average of 1,100 deaths a year are caused by Radon gas, giving you a bigger reason to purchase Radon Tests And Reports to be carried out and these can be purchased from NLIS. This happens because Radon produces a radioactive dust in the air we breathe, the dust gets trapped in our airways and emits radiation that damages the inside of our lungs. This damage, like the damage caused by smoking increases our risk of lung cancer.
NLIS can provide area specific Radon Tests and Reports which determine whether a property is in a radon affected area and Radon Gas Detection Kits can be placed in buildings to determine Radon gas levels within that specific property.
The Health Protection Agency recommends that Radon levels should be reduced in homes, to do this NLIS can provide you with Radon Tests And Reports, the average is more than 200 Becquerel’s per metre cubed and this recommendation has been endorsed by the Government. The Action Level refers to the annual average concentration in a home, so Radon measurements are carried out with two detectors (in a bedroom and living room) over three months, to average out short-term fluctuations, over all this is known as Radon Tests and Reports which can be ordered on our user friendly database from the NLIS website.
Ways In which you can Reduce The Radon Gas Level results provided by the Radon Tests and Reports:
Having carried out the process of Radon Tests And Reports, these are various ways in which you can manually reduce the levels of this gas to provide a safer living environment.
If your Radon Tests And Reports come back with high levels of Radon Gas, you can reduce them by fitting a simple quiet fan in the roof area of the house that will blow continuous fresh air into your living space.
There are other ways of reducing Radon Gas in buildings and most are simple and cheap however you could also do this by purchasing Radon Tests And Reports from NLIS. Most new properties in Radon affected areas are constructed with Radon reduction methods built in.
