Here are some tools to help you to test to see if your house has a radon problem and ways to fix it.

RETROSPECTIVE RADON DETECTORS: Using the past as an improved guide for the future
 
RETRO: New detection technology

We work with partners in the Heartland Radon Research and Education Project (http://www.cheec.uiowa.edu/misc/radon.html) in an effort to develop and disseminate scientifically sound information in a format that is clear for non-specialists.

About Us
Radon
outreach
We  conduct local and regional surveys of
radon (Rn) concentrations in homes, workplaces, and outdoors to assist individuals and organizations assess their environmental radiation exposures.  A free hot line (1-800-820-3209) and e-mail are available to people who have questions about radon, environmental radiation and radiation risks.  We work with partners in the Heartland Radon Research and Education Project (
http://www.cheec.uiowa.edu/misc/radon.html) in an effort to develop and disseminate scientifically sound information in a format that is clear for non-specialists.
Radon Science
We investigate the human health risk   (lung cancer ) associated with radon progeny exposure, the nature of radon  sources, geologies associated with high radon occurrences, and environmental radon transport. We have experience and facilities for a wide variety of  measurement services for radon in air and water as well as more general radiological
analysis of environmental radiation in material samples or contaminated areas.

Support
The Minnesota Radon Project has received generous support in the past from the Blandin Foundation (of Grand Rapids, Minnesota), the USEPA, the Minnesota Department of Health, the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, and the National  Cancer  Institute/NIH. .

About us

The project is directed by Dr. Dan Steck (personal web page ). We are located in the Physics Department at St. John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota.
Students have been an
integral part of the project since its beginning in 1982.
