A short-term test measures radon levels for two-four days. Short-term radon test kits are available to purchase online, at your local hardware store or through your regional Radon Information Center. Cost:  $10-$30.

​

We highly recommend contacting your regional Radon Information Center (RIC) first. These centers often provide kits at a reduced cost or even for free through local public health programs. Many RIC kits also include pre-paid laboratory analysis. RIC staff are professionally trained in radon measurement and can provide expert guidance for any questions you may have.

​

Hiring a certified radon measurement professional is another option. This option is more expensive but can be beneficial when testing larger buildings or childcare centers. If you are testing for a real estate transaction, a qualified third party must conduct the testing.
