Why is radon exposure dangerous?Radon is a known carcinogen, the second leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths each year in the US. This odorless radioactive gas, a by-product of uranium decay, is found in most soils. According to the Metro Health Department, approximately 40% of the homes tested in Davidson County showed elevated radon levels.
What is a safe level of radon?Although there is no safe level of radon, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a level of 4 pCi/L (picocuries of radon per liter of air) as the threshold for action. However, even lower levels may pose health risks.
How does radon get into my home?Radon moves up through the ground to the air above and may get sucked into your home through cracks and holes. As there are several possible causes of radon leaks, DocAir emphasizes a holistic approach to property inspection, carried out with the ultimate goal of uncovering structural issues that may be causing high radon levels in the home. These can include:
deficient air ductscracks in the foundation and wallsleaks in ducts and ventilation outletspoor crawl space ventilation.
How does a radon mitigation system work?Radon mitigation systems typically use a fan to exhaust contaminated air outdoors. However, a qualified professional will also ensure that the structural problems which cause leaks are resolved.
“Most radon mitigation companies in the Nashville area focus on identifying methods to reduce radon levels back to a ‘safe zone’,” the guide explains. “DocAir understands an elevated radon level is an indicator of underlying issues in the home.”

Radon levels fluctuate throughout the seasons, and need to be monitored over time. They also need to be measured in different areas of the property, in order to identify problem areas. By addressing these structural problems, a long-term, efficient solution can be developed.
