Kidde 442020 Radon Gas Detection Home Test Kit

Product Description

The KIDDE 442020 is a mail-in radon gas detection test kit designed for residential and general-use applications. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can seep into buildings from the ground, and prolonged exposure is a known cause of lung cancer. This kit uses an activated radon sampler tray to collect an air sample over a set period. Once sampling is complete, the user mails the tray to a professional laboratory using the included return mailer envelope. Lab analysis is included in the kit price, with no additional fees required for most users. Home inspectors, property managers, and homeowners use this kit to establish baseline radon levels or meet disclosure requirements.

This test kit is suited for residential homes, apartments, and general-occupancy buildings where radon testing is required or recommended. It meets state radon testing requirements and Environmental Protection Agency guidelines, making it appropriate for real estate transactions, periodic safety checks, and compliance documentation. Note: New Jersey residents may be subject to additional fees at the time of lab analysis submission.
