Radon in Calgary Homes

The percentage of Calgary homes with Radon Daughter Concentration 0.02WL and higher was 0.08 in 1980. This study was undertaken by R.G McGregor (1980). The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) advises concentrations over 0.02WL are considered a concern.

Radon has been linked to Lung Cancer but there is considered debate over Radon levels in the home and the actual impact on occupant's health.

Nevertheless, Health Canada suggests, since there is some risk at any level, homeowners may want to reduce their exposure to radon, regardless of levels tested.
