Radon Gas in Air Test Kit: Short Term (rn-can)
4" Calibrated Canister w/Lab Analysis Included
LAB FEES INCLUDED - Do-it-yourself kit will include: (1) Short Term Radon in air (48-96 hour exposure period) Charcoal Canister radon test can, pre-addressed Priority Mailer (1 per order) & easy to follow instructions. Extremely accurate & easy to use! Quick & reliable lab results are included in price. EPA recommends using 2 canisters per 1200 square foot dwelling. Lab results are available online within 24-36 hours of receiving them back in our lab. OUR LABS ARE EPA CERTIFIED
The open face charcoal canister has been calibrated at our laboratory for a two to four day exposure with a recommended exposure of two to three days. Humidity effects are controlled by correcting for moisture gain during analysis.
Canisters are securely placed within a lead-shielded chamber in contact with a sodium iodide (NaI) crystal. The gamma radiation from the elements adsorbed onto the charcoal causes a light signal in the NaI crystal, which is electrically enhanced and counted using a ratemeter. Background counts are subtracted and the net counts are entered into a formula with other relevant data yielding quantitative results stated in picoCuries per Liter (pCi/L).
