how do I pass a radon test?

Answer 1

Vent the basement or payoff the inspector.

Answer 2

Radon is a serious issue, and you could be sued if you've been found to do things to pass a radon test illegally. I would first test using a digital radon detector before involving a professional. Then at least you know if it's a concern.

Answer 3

A radon test is for your home or office, not for you personally. They test to see if Radon (an element) exists in your property

Radon is an invisible, radioactive atomic gas that results from radioactive decay of some forms of radium that may be found in rock formations beneath buildings or in certain building materials themselves. Radon is probably the most pervasive serious hazard for indoor air in the United States and Europe, probably responsible for tens of thousands of lung cancer deaths per annum. There are relatively simple tests for radon gas, but these tests are not commonly done, even in areas of known systematic hazards. Radon is a very heavy gas and thus will tend to accumulate at the floor level. Building materials are actually a signicant source of radon, but very little testing is done for stone, rock or tile products brought into building sites. The half life for radon is 3.8 days incicating that once the source is removed, the hazard will be greatly reduced within a few weeks.

Answer 4

A radon test measures the amount of radon in your home.

To pass, your home would have to have a very low level of radon.

Answer 5

Place the test kit away from the floor. Radon comes from naturally occuring radioactive gas from the soil. Certain part of US has high Radon reading. Simple place the test kit away from any opening from outside and place it high from the floor will get a lower reading. If you want to cheat...just wrap the test kit with the original packaging.

Answer 6

move- very complicated if you detected radon how to block the radiation ( radon gas) depends on your foundation ( if a basement they will have to reseal the floor ) I LOVE the peolple who crib but don't answer ( see #1) have you tested yet ? I AM assuming that you are applying for a loan or selling and need to meet FHA standards 1st do the test then ask the ? if required ( e-mail)

Answer 7

You shouldn't have done Radon, See you shouldn't do drugs period you never know when you will have to pass a test

Answer 8

You wouldn't pass or fail, your home or other building would. As for cleaning up radon after a failed test, check out the following links:

Answer 9

Study hard. No, seriously, there's not much you can do in short order. The only way to improve your results would be to make sure your foundation is sealed as tightly as possible. Caulk cracks, cover sump openings, make sure drains are flowing. Adding ventilation to the basement may also be necessary.

Answer 10

Study.

Answer 11

Scrub all exposed parts of your body with a wire brush.
