Radon Testing
Benton County Public Health & Benton County Environmental Health do not have radon tests available for purchase at our offices; please seek out the resources below to locate a business near you selling short-term (2-7 day) and long-term (90+ day) radon tests. Not all products are available in stores.
There are two types of radon tests available, which are short-term and long-term radon tests. A short-term radon test is performed to measure radon levels within 2-7 days. It is done to screen a home for radioactive gas. Short-term radon tests are conducted if you want to test a radon property, and you are planning to decrease the radon levels. On the other hand, the long-term test can measure radon levels for a minimum of 90 days. This type of test is ideal if you want to estimate radon’s annual average in your home. It would be best to perform the long-term radon test in both heating and non-heating seasons.
