Radon Gas and Indoor Air Quality Testing in Homes and Offices
When most people think about indoor air quality (IAQ), they think about humidity, mould, or ventilation — but few realize that radon gas can be one of the most dangerous and invisible contaminants in the home or workplace.
What is Radon Gas?
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It moves upward through the ground and can seep into buildings through cracks in foundations, sump pits, or openings around pipes. Because it is both invisible and odourless, the only way to know if your building has elevated radon levels is through testing.
According to Health Canada, long-term exposure to high levels of radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in Canada! The national guideline recommends taking corrective action in any building where averaged radon concentrations exceed 200 Bq/m³.
How Envirotrak Tests for Radon
At Envirotrak Analytics, we provide certified radon and indoor air quality testing services for homes, offices, and public buildings throughout the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. Our testing approach aligns fully with Health Canada’s Radon Testing Guidelines (2025) and C-NRPP Quality Assurance protocols.
Our process typically includes two phases:
1. Short-Term Screening Test
We begin with a short-term radon test to determine whether radon levels are high enough to justify a long-term follow-up. These preliminary tests help verify if your property shows early signs of radon infiltration and can be completed within a matter of days.
If results indicate elevated radon concentrations, we then move to the second stage.
2. Long-Term Measurement or Continuous Monitoring
As per Health Canada and for more accurate results over time, we perform long-term testing using continuous electronic radon monitors (ERMs) that are C-NRPP approved and meet Canadian measurement standards. These devices log hourly data and provide detailed profiles of radon fluctuations that are averaged over time, about 91 days or more in some cases.
Envirotrak does offer continuous remote radon monitoring using cellular or LoRaWAN-enabled ERM devices — ideal for commercial buildings, property managers, or government facilities that require automated, real-time datacollection and trend reporting. This networked monitoring ensures reliable long-term verification and compliance documentation.
Why Professional Radon Testing Matters
Do-it-yourself test kits are widely available but require lab analysis, however, professional testing ensures:
Proper device calibration and placement, as required by Health Canada and C-NRPP protocols
Validated data quality and traceable accuracy
Detailed analytical reporting to guide mitigation decisions
Integration with IAQ testing for other pollutants such as CO2, VOCs, and humidity
Envirotrak’s certified technicians conduct radon gas testing under the same standards followed in Health Canada’s “Guide for Radon Measurements in Homes” (2025) and “Radon Guidance for Public Buildings” (2023).
