Product Description

Includes pre-addressed postage paid return shipping box and lab test results.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has verified this product for accurate radon measurement. NELAP, NEHA & NRPP listed.

This test kit was specifically designed for real estate transactions. The EPA recommends a Radon test be performed for all real estate transactions. For Real Estate Transactions, two test devices should be placed side by side in the lowest living area of the home. The test must remain undisturbed for 48 to 96 hours under closed house conditions. Short term closed house testing is the fastest way to determine if a radon problem exists.

How to Test

If your home has a basement, open and place the canisters (side by side) anywhere in the lowest level that is used in your home. Do not place the canisters in a garage, root cellar, crawl space or sump pump pit. If your house does not have a basement, place the open canisters in the lowest livable level of your home in any room except the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room or porch. If testing more than one area of your home, place the another set of canisters in a frequently used living area.

Do not expose the canisters to noticeable drafts such as near a window, fireplace or open door. The Canisters should be placed side by side at least 2 feet above the floor, at least 1 foot away from exterior walls, at least 4 inches away from other objects and at least 3 feet away from windows, doors or other openings. Do not place in cupboard, closet, drawer, etc. The Canisters should be exposed to the air people breathe.

Remove the caps of the test devices and expose to room air for a period of 48 to 96 hours (2-4 days). Do not touch or disturb the test canisters during the test period. Do not expose the devices to the air for longer than 4 days as over exposure will invalidate the results. When exposure time is complete, securely seal the canisters with the cap. Complete the information form and place it with the sample test canister in the U.S. postage prepaid package and mail it immediately. The lab must receive the test within 8 calendar days to have a valid test.

For 12 hours prior to the test and during the testing period, the doors and windows must remain closed to the test area.During the test period, turn off all fans that bring outside air into the house or vent large amounts of air from the house such as whole house fans.

  • Do not operate fireplaces, wood or coal stoves unless a primary source of heating.
  • Do not place directly on granite or slate.
  • Devices that re-circulate indoor air such as humidifiers or air conditioners that are set to re-circulate can be used normally.
  • Avoid blowing air directly over the test device.
  • Tests should not be conducted under severe weather conditions (heavy rains, high winds, extreme heat, cold or humidity, etc.).
  • Mail the canisters within one day of completing the test.

    • Information You Will Provide

  • Name and address.
  • Serial number of the test devices.
  • Start and end dates and times of the test.
  • Record the location in your home where the canisters was exposed
  • Record the level of the house where the canisters was exposed (basement, 1st floor, etc.).
  • Indoor conditions - temperature and humidity range

    • Receiving the Results

  • Test results are available online the next business day after the lab receives the sample. Enter the serial number of the test and your zip code, and your test results will be displayed and the full report can be printed out.
  • Test results are available through a 24 hour toll free automated phone system the next business days after the lab receives the sample.
  • Test results are either emailed or sent U.S. mail the next business day after the lab receives the sample.

    • How it Works

    Each canister is a 6 cm. high by 2.5 cm. diameter high-density polyethylene liquid scintillation vial. The 22-ml capacity vial is designed to hold a small canister near the opening above the scintillating fluid. The canister, made of high-density polyethylene, contains a patented pharmaceutical-grade charcoal-silica adsorption material.

    This patented device configuration produces minimum attenuation of the scintillation signal. Perforated end caps allow air to circulate through the mixture and retain any charcoal dust. A polyethylene cap, capable of sealing tightly, prevents the loss of Radon gas from the vial.

    Alpha particles emitted by the breakdown products of Radon create scintillations, or flashes of light, in the cocktail. A photo-multiplier tube detects these scintillation's, the signal is electronically enhanced and the effect of the alpha particles are counted. Background counts are subtracted and the net counts are entered into a formula with other relevant data yielding quantitative results stated in picoCuries per Liter (pCi/L)

    After exposure, the vial is returned to the laboratory for analysis. Scintillation cocktail is added and the Radon allowed an elution period of several hours. The vial is then placed in a shielded chamber for counting.

    AccuStar Labs is a certified National Radon Proficiency Program laboratory registered with the National Environmental Health Association and is registered with every US state that requires registration for Radon testing.
