What is Radon
Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that naturally occurs in the soil. It's harmless in open spaces but can become dangerous when it seeps into indoor environments, such as your daycare center. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can pose serious health risks, particularly to young children.

Why Should You Test for Radon?
Child Safety:
Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Children are especially vulnerable to its harmful effects due to their developing lungs.
Legal Compliance:
In many regions, including Calgary, radon testing is mandatory for daycare facilities to ensure child safety. Health Canada has developed guidelines on how and where to place tests, and what tests to use.
If your child care centre is not a single family home, duplex or apartment you will need to test every room on the first floor of the building where children or staff spend 4 hours a day or more. Eg. Staff room, sleeping/nap room, play room etc.

Peace of Mind:
Testing for radon gives parents the assurance that their children are in a safe and healthy environment. The only way to know if a building has an elevated level of radon is to test. So, by testing the child care centre, you are taking steps to prevent lung cancer in children and staff. Since its long term exposure to elevated radon levels that poses the health risk and since levels can change daily, the best way to test for radon is by using a long term test of 91 days
