  1. COMMON RADON MYTHS IN PORTLAND AND FACTS 1 1. Radon is not a problem in Portland Fact: Portland, like many areas in the U.S., has homes that can have elevated radon levels. In fact, some regions in Oregon are known to have higher- than-average radon levels, making testing essential for homeowners. Newer homes don’t need radon testing. 2 Fact: Radon can impact homes of any age, construction type, or condition. Modern energy-efficient homes may even trap radon more effectively, increasing indoor concentrations. 3 1. Radon testing is expensive and complicated Fact: Radon test kits are affordable (often under $50) and simple to use. Many local organizations and health departments in Portland offer free or discounted kits. If my neighbor’s house has low radon levels, mine will too. 4 Fact: Radon levels vary significantly, even between adjacent homes, depending on soil composition, foundation type, and ventilation. Every home needs its own test. Radon mitigation systems are ineffective and not worth the cost 5 1. Fact: Professional radon mitigation systems can reduce radon levels by up to 99%.
