Why Radon is a Concern in New England?
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, and invisible gas that poses significant health risks when it accumulates indoors. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Every year, Radon is responsible for more fatalities than drunk drivers. With New England’s unique geology, homes in this region are particularly vulnerable to elevated radon levels.

Radon is a silent but dangerous threat to indoor air quality, especially in New England. The EPA’s mitigation guideline of 4.0 pCi/L is equivalent to every member of a household smoking 8 cigarettes per day, underscoring the critical health risk it poses. The risk is even greater in Zone 1 Counties within each state, where homes are more likely to exceed this level.
