• Why does Radon need to be discharged above my home's roof?

Radon Gas can be highly influenced by air movement and pressure, and re-entry into the home could be redistributed quickly. When the gas is discharged above the roof, it disperses to background levels 3-4 feet from the point of discharge. The EPA disallowed ground level discharge due to concerns over re-entry and exposing children to high levels of Radon. In short, it gives the gas a change to disperse to more safe levels before re-entry or exposure becomes an issue.

• What is the national average for Radon Levels?

The average indoor radon level is about 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) in air in the U.S. as a whole, while the average outdoor level is about 0.4 pCi/L. The KC metro area is significantly higher than the national level.
