radon detector
Basement safety device
A radon detector is a device that measures levels of radon gas in indoor air.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into buildings from the ground and can cause lung cancer with prolonged exposure.
Detectors range from simple charcoal canisters left in place for days to electronic monitors that provide continuous readings: The home inspector recommended installing a radon detector in the basement.
