Radon in the home

Radon is the largest contributor to average human exposure to radiation and is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. It therefore makes sense to protect the health of residents, especially within their own four walls.

Tip: Regular shock ventilation can reduce the radon concentration in the short term.

However, one thing is essential for effective health protection at home: competent information. Relevant information about radon can be found on this website. Our experts will answer more specific questions free of charge.

Have radon measurements taken

The indoor radon concentration depends on many factors, but mainly on the subsoil and the construction method of the building. Only a measurement gives certainty about the radon concentration in an existing building. The measurement detectors are sent by mail - carrying out the measurement is simple.

Set measures

If elevated radon concentrations have been detected, remedial action can often be taken with relatively simple measures. Information on this topic can be found on this page under "Remediation measures for existing buildings". Advice from specially trained building experts can also help in the selection of measures. Take responsibility for your health and that of your family.

Provisions

Simple radon protection measures should be included in the planning of a new building or renovation work on an existing building. Preventive radon protection is cheaper, more effective and simpler than subsequent radon remediation measures. Information on this topic can be found on this page under "Preventive measures for new buildings". Advice from specially trained building experts can also help in the selection of measures.
