Radon In Utah
The Utah Safety Council provides some very helpful
information on their website for anyone who is thinking of buying a home and is
concerned about radon. Radon is a gas
released from uranium that is most often found in the soil and seeps into the
home. The radon gas can get trapped in
the basement of the home and can be dangerous for those who live there. If you are thinking of buying a home, you may
want to do a Radon test when you do your regular inspection.
The following chart is taken from the Utah Safety Council’s
website and it provides information about each zip in Salt Lake
and the result of short term tests. A
short term test is one that takes less than 90 days to complete. Anything over 4pCi/L is considered
unhealthy. For more information please
visit the Utah Safety Council’s website and the EPA’s website .
