Newer homes are less likely to have high concentrations of radon.

Answer: False
Explanation: Any home that has contact with the ground can potentially have high concentrations of radon.

Answer: False
Explanation: Any home (old, new, city, rural, on slab, with basement, etc.) can have high radon levels. The only way to know is to test your home.

Answer: False
Explanation: Radon is a gas that comes from the earth - it does not determine which home to enter and which ones to not.

Answer: Unsure
Explanation: This field requires a specialist in the field.

Answer: Unsure
Explanation: I do not inspect for radon.

Answer: True
Explanation: Less cracks and crevasse that allow radon gas to infiltrate.

Answer: False
Explanation: The level of radon gas in a home is independent of the homes age. It all depends on the location of the home, and whether homes in that area are susceptible to radon gas infiltration.

Answer: False
Explanation: The age of the home will have nothing to do with concentrations of radon! Although many new homes are constructed using RRNC (Radon Reducing New Construction) protocols. If done properly, these protocols are designed to reduce concentrations of radon in the home. The home should still be tested.

Answer: False
Explanation: Only if the proper measures have been taken to help displace the radon elsewhere.

Answer: False
Explanation: Radon can be found in a new home as often as an older home.

Answer: False
Explanation: Depends on the build site, however some newer homes are being build as "RADON RESISTANT"

Answer: False
Explanation: Newer homes can have faults in the foundation as well.

Answer: False
Explanation: Levels depend on the location of the home, the risk does not change between new or old home.

Answer: True
Explanation: yet again depends on situation and conditions. Safety first.

Answer: False
Explanation: There are several considerations for radon. New construction is not a factor.

Answer: False
Explanation: Age of the home has nothing to do with radon levels. It all depends on the soil types and minerals in the soil.

Answer: False
Explanation: all home's are susceptible to radon gas

Answer: False
Explanation: As likely as older home.

Answer: False
Explanation: New or old most houses have some level of radon. Newer homes are sealed better for more energy efficiency. This actually can cause the radon level to be higher.

Answer: False
Explanation: All homes have radon. It's higher levels that cause problems

Answer: False
Explanation: Radon can be found in every home regardless of age.

Answer: False
Explanation: Radon gas comes from the soil so the age of the home does not matter unless the home was built with a system in place.

Answer: False
Explanation: Location is more of an issue for Radon gas. Check to see if your neighbors have radon mitigation systems.

Answer: Unsure
Explanation: In some cases new home are built with radon mitigation systems already in place, ask your builder for information about this. The only way to know your radon level is to test. Tests can be either short term (2-90 days) or long term (> 90days). Short term tests are inexpensive and available at the Health Department and local hardware stores. Test kits are also available at the radon hotline 1-800-SOS-RADON (767-7236).

Answer: False
Explanation: The age of the home is often no bearing on radon levels. Location of the house in areas where radon is present is the key.

Answer: False
Explanation: The age of the home is often no bearing on radon levels. Location of the house in areas where radon is present is the key.

Answer: False
Explanation: This is true if they have been built with Radon mitigation designed into the structure. A new home is not a guarantee that radon is not present. Radon levels vary from area to area even home to home. The home right next store can have very low levels of radon and yours can be very high. Always wise to test.

Answer: False
Explanation: It's uncertain where radon gas comes from.

Answer: False
Explanation: New and old houses are prepended to have radon

Answer: False
Explanation: Depends on where the home is located.

Answer: False
Explanation: Radon gas has been found high in both new and old homes. Newer homes tend to be tighter constructed for insulation purposes, but has not solved radon gas yet.

Answer: False
Explanation: Depends on where the house is built will determine the radon level in home

Answer: False
Explanation: New Construction is certainly tighter than older, less efficient homes which helps to lessen infiltration. Unfortunately, if Radon is underneath in a quantity, it will usually find a way inside.
