Radon accumulation will shift daily and with the seasons within an acceptable range. A short-term radon sample measures a small period and is a reliable metric of whether or not the property has radon gas contamination.
Radon gas has a lifespan of only days. This means that radon gas accumulation won’t be greater if the home is enclosed for months, days, or years.
