   • Radon is a gas which can seep into our homes. Radon gas is created when natural radioactive uranium slowly decays in the ground under our homes and seeps to the surface.
   • In some parts of the country, homes are more likely to have high radon levels. Every building contains radon but the levels are usually low. In some parts of the country homes may have higher levels, and the chances of a higher level depend on the type of ground.
   • It’s easy to test your home’s radon levels. Take a look at our radon maps, which are updated every 10 years, and if you live in an area likely to be affected by higher levels of Radon, you can get your property tested.
   • High radon levels in the home can be reduced. Although high levels of radon at home can be a problem the good news is they can be reduced by simple building works.

   Radon detectors are safe and simple to use: e.g., they can sit on a shelf. The hollow plastic shell contains a piece of clear plastic that records the damage caused by radon. The detectors do not emit anything and do not collect anything dangerous. However, they can be damaged by heat or submersion in water and should not be opened.
