radon test
Invisible gas check
A radon test measures levels of radon gas in a building, typically a home.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps from soil into structures and can cause lung cancer with prolonged exposure.
Tests range from short-term kits left in basements for a few days to continuous electronic monitors: The home inspection included a radon test.
