You Should Test for Radon
While scientists can estimate the approximate lung cancer deaths per 1000 people, no single individual's risk can be estimated. Testing is relatively inexpensive, easy and is the only way to know
whether you are at risk.
If you would like to perform the tests yourself, read the Guidelines for Radon Measurements in the Home before placing the detectors. This guide tells you the steps for home radon testing,
things to remember when testing and where to place, and not to place, detectors.
If you would rather that a trained professional perform your test, the radon program has the names of qualified, licensed Measurement Professionals in, or near, your area. IEMA (Illinois
Emergency Management Agency) recommends professional testing in real estate transactions.
If you are involved in a real estate transaction, read the Radon Testing Guidelines for Real Estate Transactions. Radon testing in real estate transactions, which involve multiple parties and
financial interests, is unique and specific testing protocols are required.
Controlling Radon Exposure
Radon reduction techniques are used to stop radon entry and reduce indoor radon concentrations. IEMA recommends hiring a licensed Mitigation Professional to reduce your indoor radon
concentrations, as you would hire a licensed plumber, HVAC or other specialist
The cost of an active mitigation system is typically between $800 to $1200 for installation, and the energy cost for running the fan will average around $100 per year.
