I like EPA Guide to Radon!

The presentation gives an overview of Radon detection devices, but it doesn't cite any particular device or manufacturer.

The same goes for Radon-reduction systems. A handy diagram shows a home Radon mitigation system that the EPA recommends.

Radon-resistant construction features are presented.

The guide tells how to interpret test results, when to test and how.

A helpful Radon Testing Checklist is included.

EPA lists Toll-free numbers for more information.

Quick but effective short-term tests for radon are recommended for home buyers and sellers, as part of the purchase process.

Radon and smoking are covered, since there is a higher risk for cancer in smokers who may be living in homes with elevated Radon levels.

State Radon offices contact information is provided.

The explanation of sub-slab depressurization is included, and it's a highly recommended method of reducing Radon levels.

The EPA points readers to its Web site for more information.

A section of the Guide discusses why well water has a higher risk of Radon, when compared to other municipal and rural water sources.
