INTRODUCTION
Y
ou have tested your home for radon, but now what? This booklet is for people who have tested their home for radon and confirmed that they have elevated radon levels — 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. This booklet can help you:
Select a qualified radon mitigation contractor to reduce the radon levels in your home
Determine an appropriate radon reduction method
Maintain your radon reduction system
If you want information on how to test your home for radon, call your state radon office (see p. 17) and ask for a copy of either A Citizen's Guide to Radon or, if testing during a home sale, the Home Buyer’s and Seller’s Guide to Radon. On-line versions of both documents are also available at http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs.
