Judith and her family built their dream home in the Canadian countryside to escape the city pollution and lead a healthier life. Little did she know, her home contained radon levels 100 times higher than those usually found outdoors.
In this video, we meet Judith Spence and her husband, who live in the countryside home they designed and built. After learning about uranium mines nearby, Judith’s daughter, a home inspector, lent Judith her Airthings indoor air quality monitor to check their radon levels. Upon finding astonishingly high radon inside their home, they installed a radon mitigation system that successfully remediated the issue.
Their Airthings monitor showed radon levels dropping almost immediately after installing the mitigation system, helping them regain peace of mind that their home was safe and healthy.
Radon is a colorless, odorless natural gas that can accumulate inside our homes. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can lead to the development of lung cancer. Radon is present in every home, workplace and school, but the only way to know what the actual level is, is to measure it.
