Radon in Colorado: Why Mitigation Matters and How Shield Mitigation Can Help
Welcome to Shield Mitigation's blog, your trusted source for all things radon in Colorado. As the Centennial State's leading radon mitigation experts, we're here to shed light on this invisible threat and help you protect your home and loved ones.
Why Radon is a Big Deal in Colorado
Colorado consistently ranks high in radon levels across the United States. Our unique geology and elevation contribute to higher-than-average radon concentrations in many homes. In fact, nearly half of Colorado homes have radon levels above the EPA's recommended action level.
Understanding Radon and Its Risks
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that forms naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. When trapped in buildings, it can accumulate to dangerous levels. Long-term exposure to high radon concentrations is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
The Colorado Radon Landscape
50% of Colorado homes have radon levels above the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L
All 64 Colorado counties are rated at high risk for radon by the EPA
Elevated radon levels have been found in all types of homes, regardless of age or construction
