With more than three times the amount of charcoal of other industry test kits, the QuickScreen radon test kit captures the maximum amount of radon decay in the short term and is more sensitive to low levels of radon. Greater charcoal volume also enables the QuickScreen to tolerate higher humidity levels which reduces chances of invalid results and provides maximum test accuracy.
It is recommended that all ground contacting living areas should be tested as frequently as possible. Placing detectors in your basement is recommended, especially if you have a family room or other living area where your family frequently spends their time. You should test above every type of foundation in your home (ie. basements, crawlspaces and slabs).
Bedrooms, home offices and other family living areas of particular concern should also have radon detectors. Because you spend extended periods of time in these rooms, you are more likely to inhale radon. Additionally, these rooms often have closed doors which can cause the radon levels to be higher.
Radon gas is odorless and there is no way for you to see or smell the gas and a detector is the best way to tell if radon gas is present. Any area of your home that your family uses on a regular basis should have their own dedicated radon detectors.
