Radon Mitigation in Akron, IA
Akron is a small city in Plymouth County, north of Sioux City. Plymouth County is in EPA Zone 1, like all of Iowa.
Because radon varies so much between houses, two homes on the same block can read very differently. The Iowa Department of Public Health recommends testing every home. If you are in Akron and have not tested, start with a short-term test and compare the result with the EPA's 4 pCi/L guideline.
Testing Is the Only Way to Know
You cannot see, smell or taste radon. The EPA recommends that all homes be tested regardless of zone, and that you fix your home if the level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. The EPA also says to consider fixing between 2 and 4 pCi/L.
- Short-term tests give a quick read in a few days
- Long-term tests measure for more than 90 days and show seasonal swings
- Test the lowest lived-in level of the house
- Keep windows and doors closed as the test instructions require
