Get your Maine Home Radon Tested
1 in 3 homes in Maine test at too high a level of Radon. Meaning the residents of 1 in 3 homes in Maine are at risk for radon accumulation. When your water tests at 4000pCi/L and your air at 4pCi/L, you are ingesting dangerous levels of radon. For comparison, this level of radiation is higher exposure than is permitted for Nuclear power plant workers. You read that right, 4pCi/L radon is higher than working conditions for Nuclear power plant employees. It is in fact more dangerous to live in a high radon environment than it is to work in Nuclear Power. This fact alone tells you how serious Radon can be.
