It's Radon Action Month. This is significant because much of Tennessee resides in a Class 1 radon zone, meaning the potential for elevated indoor radon levels is high.

If you are here, you must have browsed our website long enough to find information on our Diagnostic Assessment Services. If you haven't found that link on our home page yet, CLICK HERE to learn more. Or, perhaps you inquired via phone and spoke to one of our building scientists. Great! 

You may already know that January is radon awareness month. You may already know that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America.

With a baby on the way, the Myers’ family was concerned about their indoor radon levels. Their initial 26-day test result in the soon-to-be nursery came back at 11.2 pCi/L. The recommended indoor level is 4.0 pCi/L. Mike and Lisa Myers reached out to E3 to evaluate the issue.

E3 is currently conducting a neighborhood radon study in different areas across Nashville to get a sense of the variation within neighborhoods. The age of the homes varied, as did their foundation types. Some of those who have participated so far are E3 clients, while others are not. Our initial findings are, well, interesting to say the least. Although we like to nerd out on data and techie stuff, we thought you might actually find the results interesting too.
