Radon and Radon Test Kit Background Information
The Radon Test Kits collect background radon levels inside of households over a four-month period and are then returned so that levels can be analysed.
After the detectors are analyzed, each participant will privately receive a report with their own results. A summary of the community data without specific participant details will be made available to help inform others.
The kits provide valuable information to local residents about radon levels in their households so that they can make informed decisions on next steps to protect themselves and their families.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and can be found in elevated concentrations in homes across the country, including the North Okanagan. Take Action on Radon is a national initiative funded by Health Canada that is led by the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists and the Canadian Cancer Society.
