Where should the radon monitoring device be placed during a post-mitigation test?

Placing the radon monitoring device in the same location as the pre-mitigation test is essential for ensuring a valid comparison of radon levels before and after mitigation. This consistency allows for an accurate assessment of the effectiveness of the radon mitigation system. When evaluating the success of the mitigation efforts, it’s crucial that the test conditions remain as similar as possible. The environmental factors surrounding the device, such as airflow and room characteristics, can significantly influence radon measurements, making this specific placement critical for reliable results. Consistency helps to isolate the impact of the mitigation process and provides valuable data to determine if the intervention successfully reduced radon levels to acceptable standards.
