Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is invisible and odorless.
In outdoor spaces it usually disperses, but indoors it can enter from the subsoil and accumulate if there is no adequate ventilation or insulation.
Although radon potential maps can provide guidance on areas with a higher probability of presence, each property is different. Location, soil type, ventilation, construction, or the presence of basements and ground floors can influence its actual concentration.
Therefore, the most reliable way to know if it is present in a specific space is to perform a specific measurement. [Check our map]
When it may be useful to measure it:
Performing a radon measurement may be especially advisable in situations such as:
- Homes located in areas with radon potential.
- Single-family homes, ground floors, or buildings in direct contact with the ground.
- Spaces with basements, garages, or semi-basements.
- Premises, offices, or workplaces located in risk areas.
- Properties with poor ventilation.
- Homes where a preventive check is desired.
How Does an Ambient Radon Analysis Work?
The ambient radon analysis is performed using a measurement with a long-term CR-39 detector, which is placed in the space to be measured.
Once the indicated period is complete, the detector is returned to the laboratory for analysis. Based on this measurement, a report is issued with the radon concentration in air expressed in Bq/m³, data that provides better insight into the property’s situation and allows informed decisions to be made based on the result obtained.
At Teletest we have a new kit designed for individuals and professionals who wish to assess the possible presence of this gas in homes, premises, or buildings.
You can check if your municipality is located in an area with radon potential on the following map: [Check our map]
From a preventive perspective, measuring radon is not about generating alarm, but about moving from a general estimate to specific data for the analyzed space. Knowing this information allows for better assessment of each case and more informed decision-making.
