6 Things You Need to Know About Radon Testing, Results, and Mitigation in BC’s High-Risk Region
If you’re wondering what radon is, how to test your home, or whether your family is at risk, this guide will walk you through everything—step by step, in plain language.
WHAT IS RADON?
Radon comes from the mineral uranium that occurs naturally in soil. As uranium breaks down, it releases radon. Radon is a radioactive gas without colour or odour. It is found in every home, though not always at elevated levels. Since Canadian homes are sealed against the weather, radon levels inside homes can build up to levels that Health Canada considers to be dangerous. Over time, exposure to elevated levels of radon can cause lung cancer. In fact, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.

How much radon is too much?
​
Some areas of BC, including the East Kootenays, are known to have high levels of radon. BC Radon Map
​
The Government of Canada recommends that any home with a radon level above 200 Bq/m3 should take action to lower their level. Most homes can be reduced to levels well below this.
