Why Check for Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas which can be caught in buildings and create
accumulative risk of lung cancer and death. Although Australian Government tests
demonstrate an overall national low level of Radon, there is still a potential risk. Well sealed
buildings with poor subfloor ventilation or slab on ground are more susceptible to increased
Radon levels. Households with indoor smoking also suffer heightened Radon exposure. The
Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) have plenty of
information in relation to the risks of Radon and what you can do about it. Check out these
resources at:
