Is radon common?
Four out of 10 Colorado homes potentially contain unsafe levels of radon, according to the state’s Department of Public Health & Environment. The state agency uses the federal government’s guideline of 4.0 pico Curies per liter (pCi/L) as a safety standard.
Colorado geology, which is laced with natural deposits of uranium and radium, is conducive to forming radon. Unsafe levels of this radioactive gas have been found in new as well as old buildings. Radon can enter any type of building through any type of foundation, including crawl spaces, basements and concrete slabs.
