Radon Level If 1,000 people who never smoked were exposed to this level over a lifetime*... The risk of cancer from radon exposure compares to**... WHAT TO DO: 20 pCi/L About 36 people could get lung cancer 35 times the risk of drowning Fix your home 10 pCi/L About 18 people could get lung cancer 20 times the risk of dying in a home fire Fix your home 8 pCi/L About 15 people could get lung cancer 4 times the risk of dying in a fall Fix your home 4 pCi/L About 7 people could get lung cancer The risk of dying in a car crash Fix your home 2 pCi/L About 4 person could get lung cancer The risk of dying from poison Consider fixing between 2 and 4 pCi/L 1.3 pCi/L About 2 people could get lung cancer (Average indoor radon level) (Reducing radon levels below 2 pCi/L is difficult.)

Radon Level (pCi/L) Odds for non-smokers* of developing lung cancer due to radon if exposed to this level over a lifetime Odds for smokers* of developing lung cancer due to radon if exposed to this level over a lifetime** 201 in 271 in 5 81 in 681 in in 1351 in in 2701 in in 1,3501 in 260

Mercer County Average Radon Level: 7.9 pCi/L Results above 4.0 pCi/L: 40.3% Results above 2.0 pCi/L: 65.8%

Self Testing Price: Sales price: $39.50

The average price of such a system is around $1,200, although prices can range from $500 to $2,500, depending on characteristics of the home and the underlying soil.
