Radon levels will shift daily and with the seasons inside of an acceptable range. A quick radon gas test measures a single day or week and is an accurate indicator of if the structure has radon contamination.

Radon has a dangerous duration of about half a week. This means that radon gas concentration will not be greater if the home is sealed for months or years.

The method to know certainly the saturation of radon in the dwelling is to have a radon test.
