New and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements can have a problem. In addition, indoor radon levels vary from one home to the next. Do not rely on radon test results taken in other homes in the neighborhood - even ones next door - to estimate the radon level in your home. To determine which areas of North Carolina have the greatest likelihood of elevated radon levels - refer to the <a target="_self" href="zone.htm">NC Radon Zone Map.</a></font></p> <p align="center" class="bodyhead"> <font color="#CC0000" face="Times New Roman">The only way to determine the radon level in <b><u>YOUR</u></b> home is to conduct a radon test.</font></p> </td> <td width="20%" height="51" colspan="2"> <p align="center"> <img border="0" src="images/BL00346_.gif" width="180" height="221"></td> <td width="9%" height="34">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%" height="1"></td> <td width="70%" height="1" colspan="7" align="center"> </td> <td width="20%" height="1" colspan="2"> </td> <td width="9%" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%" height="1"></td> <td width="17%" height="1" colspan="2" align="center"> </td> <td width="53%" height="1" colspan="5" align="center"> <b> <font color="#000080"><a target="_self" href="DIY.htm">Do-It-Yourself Radon Testing</a></font></b></td> <td width="20%" height="15" colspan="2"> </td> <td width="9%" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%" height="1"></td> <td width="17%" height="1" colspan="2" align="center"> </td> <td width="53%" height="1" colspan="5" align="center"> <b> <font color="#000080"><a target="_self" href="docs/rntestingdevices.pdf">Radon Testing Devices</a></font></b></td> <td width="20%" height="15" colspan="2"> </td> <td width="9%" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%" height="1"></td> <td width="17%" height="1" colspan="2" align="center"> </td> <td width="53%" height="1" colspan="5" align="center"> <b> <font color="#000080"><a target="_self" href="docs/checklistnew.pdf">Radon Testing Checklist</a></font></b></td> <td width="20%" height="15" colspan="2"> </td> <td width="9%" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%" height="1"></td> <td width="17%" height="1" colspan="2" align="center"> </td> <td width="53%" height="1" colspan="5" align="center"> <b> <font color="#000080"><a target="_self" href="Certified.htm">Radon Testing by a Certified Service Provider</a></font></b></td> <td width="20%" height="15" colspan="2"> </td> <td width="9%" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%" height="1"></td> <td width="17%" height="1" colspan="2" align="center"> </td> <td width="53%" height="1" colspan="5" align="center"> <b> <font color="#000080"><a target="_self" href="docs/select.pdf">How to Select a Radon Service Provider</a></font></b></td> <td width="20%" height="15" colspan="2"> </td> <td width="9%" height="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="16%" height="19" colspan="2"></td> <td width="15%" height="19" colspan="3"></td> <td width="18%" height="19"></td> <td width="29%" height="19" colspan="2"></td> <td width="10%" height="14"></td> <td width="19%" height="14" colspan="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="16%" height="33" colspan="2"> <img border="0" src="images/rps-logosmall.gif" width="84" height="49"></td> <td width="68%" height="33" colspan="7" align="center"> <font size="1" face="Times New Roman"> <a target="_self" href="http://www.dhhs.gov">NC DHHS</a><a target="_self" href="http://www.enr.state.nc.us">&nbsp; </a> <a target="_self" href="http://www.ncradiation.net">&nbsp;Radiation Protection Section</a> <font color="#1F3D3D"><br> 1645 Mail Service Center</font><b>.</b><font color="#1F3D3D"> Raleigh, NC 27699-1645</font><b><br> </b><font color="#1F3D3D">Office (919)571-4141</font> <font color="#1F3D3D">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fax (919)571-4148</font></font></td> <td width="19%" height="28" colspan="2"> <img border="0" src="images/dhhs_logo.JPG" width="103" height="73"></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <p></p> </body> </html>
