Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that enters homes through soil and foundation gaps. This Knowledge Center helps you understand radon behavior, seasonal fluctuations, air pressure dynamics, long-term vs. short-term testing, and the scientific basis behind radon measurement.

You’ll learn why radon accumulates in basements, why levels vary daily, and which tests align with EPA standards. Our guides and Detekt Home Short-Term Radon Test simplify the physics while providing actionable steps to reduce exposure.
