Measurement
Envirosafe services include continuous monitors to measure the presence and amount of radon in a home. Monitors are placed for a minimum of 48 hours. From your home the test is immediately downloaded and a printed report is generated within minutes.
is the air in your house safe?
As the temperatures drop, families spend more time indoors when the indoor radon levels are at their highest. It is a good idea to have your home tested for this lung cancer-causing radon gas. You can test your home yourself by purchasing a “do it yourself radon test kit” through Envirosafe for $15. This fee includes laboratory analysis of the radon levels, unlike the test kits you purchase from hardware stores where you have to pay for the lab fees separate from the price of the test kits. Purchasing the test kits through Envirosafe, the analytical results are confidentially mailed to you within 24 hours of laboratory analysis.
Radioactive-Emitting Granite Countertops
Is your kitchen the most common gathering place for your family? Do you have granite countertops in your kitchen? Are you aware that granite countertops have been found to release both radon and radiation.
Some have been found to release much higher concentrations of radon than the EPA's action level of 4.0 pCi/L and some granite countertops have been found to let off more than five times the amount of radiation than that of an x-ray of your arm
As per Lou Witt, a program analyst with the Indoor Environments Division of the EPA, "There is no known safe level of radon or radiation. Any exposure increases your health risk." The EPA estimates that 25,000 Americans die a year as result of radon induced lung cancer. Get your house and granite counter tops tested today. Don't wait, protect yourself and your family!
Envirosafe has the equipment to ensure the safety of your granite countertops. It only takes a few days to test for peace of mind that the health and well-being of your family is protected. Envirosafe can scan your countertops with an Inspector Alert Nuclear Radiation Detector to measure the presence of gamma emitting radiation.
It is important to have your granite countertops scanned for gamma radiation in conjunction with the radon testing of the granite to accurately determine the safety of your granite countertops.

Radon is a radioactive gas found all over the U.S. that you cannot see, smell, or taste. It comes from the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water, and moves into your home where it can build up. It is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year, according to EPA's 2003 Assessment of Risks from Radon in Homes (EPA 402-R-03-003)4.
