Airthings Corentium Home Digital Radon Detector
January is National Radon Action Month. EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General recommend that all homes in the U.S. be tested for radon. Montgomery County, Maryland has been designated as a Zone 1 area which means there is a predicted average radon level at or above the EPA's 4.0 pico-Curies per liter (pCi/L) action level. (pCi/L is a measure of the amount of radioactivity in a known quantity of air.)
I purchased a Airthings Corentium Home Digital Radon Detector for our home. It is an easy to use device for home use. "The top rated and best selling digital radon detector on the market. Easily monitor radon levels in your home with this compact yet powerful radon gas detector."
The Airthings price is $179.99. I purchased it on Amazon for $135.90 with free shipping. The AAA batteries are included with the device.

You can’t see, smell or taste radon, but it could be present at a dangerous level in your home. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America and claims the lives of about 21,000 Americans each year. In fact, the EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General urge all Americans to protect their health by testing their homes, schools and other buildings for radon.
Exposure to radon is a preventable health risk and testing radon levels in your home can help prevent unnecessary exposure. If a high radon level is detected in your home, you can take steps to fix the problem to protect yourself and your family. EPA
