ACTIVE METHOD: Continuous Monitors

Very helpful for time sensitive decisions.

Information provided includes hourly data regarding radon fluctuations, device movement, power outages and other data to enhance an understanding of the test results.

 

CRM

Continuous Monitor

PASSIVE METHODS: Charcoal Canisters, Electrets, etc.

Cost effective for home owner testing when there is time to double check readings down the road.

These provide only a single numeric value that represents the average reading for a short-term test period of at least a few days. More than one test or test device is always recommended when using passive devices.

 Charcoal Cannister

LONG TERM PASSIVE METHODS: Alpha Track, Electrets, etc.

These long term test devices provide a single numeric value that represents the average reading for a long-term test period. Their strength is to identify actual exposures regardless of building operation at different times and other factors that fluctuate radon entry into and around the dwelling.

Long term test devices are deployed for at least 91 days. However, six months to a year is recommended to insure seasonal differences in building operation are included in the measurement. More than one test device is recommended with passive devices.
