23 Aug Testing for Radon in New Mexico
Radon is a naturally occurring, organic gas that comes up from the soil and can easily enter buildings. There are areas where it is more commonly found than others, and New Mexico has a very high rate, especially in areas that have large populations such as Albuquerque and Santa Fe. If you look at this map from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you can see that the entire state of New Mexico has high radon levels of zones 1 and 2. It is possible to do your own radon testing in the home or you can hire a professional to come measure. Some people prefer to do both, as more information about radon levels is better. The state of New Mexico offers free radon test kits that you can call and request at: https://www.env.nm.gov/rcb/free-radon-test-kits/
