Summary: 5 Stars
Couldn't find one locally, so glad to find a reasonable one on Amazon. The purchase price included the mail-in lab testing, which is not always the case. We just placed the tray (about the size of a slice of bread) for 48 hours as instructed in the area of concern, and mailed it back to them in the sleeve they sent. The contents of the tray seemed to be bits of charcoal. Something I did not know prior to the test is there is no way to get official results without going through a lab, and labs are accredited by the US and presumably must submit their results. Law here (and perhaps elsewhere) forces home owners to divulge the results of a test upon a sale, so I was nervous about the test for various reasons. We had become alarmed about Radon due to a recent article in the WALL STREET JOURNAL. Upon further reading, however, it turns out that while Radon is a very serious problem and health risk, there is some political baggage attached to its danger -- the left seems to want to ignore it because there is no one to sue, and the right seems to want to publicize it because the danger is not coming from big corporate -- if i may be so crude as to abbreviate it that clumsily. Books have been written about the subject from both sides. Obviously, there is a lot more to it, but the whole matter unnerved me. And, I was further amazed to learn, by looking at the online US gov danger zone map, that the residents of NYC, which we are, are in less danger than, say, upstate NY residents. (Radon comes from the ground.) But to get to the end of this review, and here it is, our result under the level of any sort of concern, and this test was easy, fast and cheap.
Description of Kidde 442020 Radon Gas Detection Test Kit
The Kidde Radon Detector Kit allows you to quickly and accurately test for radon gas in your home or workplace. Professional Lab Analysis by an EPA-Registered Radon Testing Laboratory is included. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, invisible and radioactive gas, a natural by-product of decaying uranium. In outdoor air, radon is diluted to such low concentrations that it is usually nothing to worry about. However, once inside an enclosed space such as a home, radon can accumulate. Along with your specific test results, you will receive information on how to conduct follow up tests, as well as a detailed list of governmental agencies to contact for more information. Often the home owner can correct a problem with sealants or other products at a relatively low cost.Is colorless, tasteless, cancer-causing radon gas seeping into your home? Use the Kidde Radon Test Kit to find out for sure. Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. If it's under your home, it can seep in and contaminate the air you breathe. Testing is the only way to know if you, your family, friends, tenants, or guests are safe. Inexpensive and easy to use, the Kidde Radon Kit includes an activated radon sampler tray and a return mailer envelope for professional lab analysis plus detailed instructions. Just hang the tray in the basement or crawl space for the specified amount of time and mail it in. The kit meets state and federal EPA requirements. And, the analysis included with this purchase, with no additional fees to pay (except for New Jersey residents where the state EPA charges an additional $10). --Brian D. Olson
