Did you know that your radon levels are likely to increase during the winter? Greater concentrations of this odorless, invisible radioactive gas can enter your home during winter months as a result of the snow blanket, the stack effect, increased use of exhaust devices and closed home conditions.
SNOW BLANKET
In the winter months your yard may freeze and become covered in snow. Radon gas below the soil is then sealed beneath your home’s foundation. And because the ground is frozen, less radon escapes through the yard while more gets absorbed into your home through your foundation.
