Indoor air quality & Radon Primer

How Safe is the Air Inside Your Home?

Indoor Air Pollution & Air Quality TestingPaints, solvents, cleansers, disinfectants, air fresheners, pesticides, nicotine, glue, home furnishings and building materials... the list of chemicals in our homes goes on and on. Even low concentrations of these can irritate your eyes, nose and throat; cause headaches, loss of coordination and nausea; and can damage the liver, kidneys and the central nervous system. Children and older people are particularly vulnerable. So are pets. In fact, they are often the ones who show signs of illness first.

RTK Environmental Group's Indoor Air Quality testing services check for radon, mold, carbon monoxide, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particles from furnaces and wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, and common allergens. Our investigators determine the root causes of your air quality problems, and provide a detailed report with recommendations on how to resolve any issues. Once mitigation is completed, we can verify the situation was successfully resolved.

RADON: The Second Leading Cause of Lung Cancer

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is extremely hazardous to your health. It is an odorless, tasteless and invisible gas produced when uranium naturally decays in soil and water. Because 90 percent of the land in the Northeast is likely to have elevated radon levels, every home should be tested for radon, which is part of our Indoor Air Quality Tests.
