Carbon Monoxide Testing
This service determines if the combustible appliances in the home are releasing harmful levels of carbon monoxide. Exposure to carbon monoxide reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Often a person or an entire family may not recognize that carbon monoxide is poisoning them. The chemical is odorless and some of the symptoms are similar to common illnesses. This can be particularly dangerous because carbon monoxide's deadly effects are rarely recognized until it is too late to take action against them. |

Radon Testing With Electronic Monitor
This inspection includes the placement of a testing device to measure the ongoing level of radon in the habitable areas of the home. These measurements evaluate the level of radon to determine if any form of improvement is required. Radon is a naturally occuring radioactive gas that is a by-product of the radioactive decay of uranium and radium. Studies of humans exposed to both high and low levels of radon have shown an increase in lung cancer. Radon is colorless, odorless and tasteless, so the only way to know the level of radon in your home is to test for it.
The EPA document A Citizen's Guide To Radon (Third Edition) provides the basic information everyone should know about Radon. For more information on how to reduce your radon health risk, call your state radon office for copies of these guides:
• Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon
• Radon in Schools
• Radon: A Physician's Guide
• Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction
• Technical Support Document to the 1992 Citizens Guide to Radon
• Other Radon-specific publications are located at: www.epa.gov/iaq/radon/pubs/
• Other Indoor Air Quality-specific publications are located at: www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/
If you plan to make repairs yourself, be sure to contact your state radon office. |
