Radon

Radon is naturally occurring radioactive gas from the decay of uranium found in granite rock. Radon is tasteless and odourless and can seep into homes through the soil and rock underneath a house or commercial building. Linked to several types of cancer, radon is believed to be the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. If you are unsure if your home or business has radon, radiation testing may provide peace of mind.

ACM’s specialist can test for radon gas and advise you on precautions in the event a Radon leak is found. ACM focuses on testing homes, schools and businesses and offers solutions for structures where radon levels of 4 pCi/L or more are found.
