Clear, Independent Radon Guidance for
​Utah Families 

Utah’s only all volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3), non-mitigation company provider of radon awareness, advocacy, and community service programs. 

The Utah Radon Coalition Now Operates Through Radon Navigator™,
Utah's Premier Radon Awareness and Guidance Program

About Radon Navigator™

Who We Are
Reducing fear, Increasing Clarity, Empowering Evidence-based Radon Decision Making.

​The Utah Radon Coalition is Utah's only all‑volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to radon awareness, advocacy, consumer protection, and community services. ​

Since our inception in 2012, we’ve operated with no salaries, no fees, and no commercial revenue. We do receive grants, but every dollar goes directly to services we provide, never to administrative costs or compensation. 

​Our independence is what allows us to provide guidance that is calm, clear, and completely free from commercial influence. 

View Our Take on Radon

We've Changed our Approach
We moved away from fear‑based messaging to fact-based clarity and support​

For many years, the Utah Radon Coalition used the same communication style that public health agencies across the country rely on — including dramatic comparisons of radon risk to smoking, car crashes, and other high‑arousal risks. 

This approach came directly from national radon messaging, especially the EPA’s risk charts, which framed radon in terms meant to grab attention. At the time, this was considered the best way to help people take an invisible hazard seriously.

Over time, we realized something important: fear‑based messaging does not help families make good decisions. It can create confusion, urgency, and pressure — and it can unintentionally open the door for unscrupulous contractors to take advantage of people who are simply trying to protect their homes.

In response, we have developed our Radon Navigator™ ​program. ​It is our modern, user‑first program designed to give Utah families the support, clarity, and protection they deserve — without fear, pressure, or sales influence.

TrueLevel™ Radon Testing Tools — Innovation That Serves Utah Families​

Radon testing shouldn't leave you guessing, and it shouldn't leave you vulnerable to high-pressure tactics. Depending on where you are right now, you usually fall into one of three situations:

• You haven't tested yet and want a reliable, free way to measure your home's true radon level without falling for predatory sales pitches.​
• You already have a test result from elsewhere (like a short-term test kit) and want to know what your actual annual exposure looks like.
• You are being pushed to install a mitigation system based on a quick test, and you want to know if that data is actually sound enough to justify a major financial decision.

No matter which path you are on, the TrueLevel™ approach uses advanced modeling (powered by our Radon Navigator™ PARS engine) to replace raw snapshots and guesswork with clear, evidence-based annualized scores.

​How it works:

Pathway 1: Order a Free TrueLevel™ Test Kit

For homeowners who want to test their home using our structured, evidence-based program, Click Here.

​​Pathway 2: Annualizing an Existing Test Result

For homeowners who have a test from another source and want to know their true annual exposure, Click Here.

Pathway 3: Auditing an Existing Test Score

For homeowners facing pressure to install a mitigation system who want to verify if their test data can support a mitigation decision, Click Here.

​All our programs are easy to use, evidence‑based, and free.

Clear, Calm Guidance When You Need It Most You deserve trustworthy, pressure‑free information before making any decisions about radon

​Radon is a long-term exposure risk, not an emergency. If you’ve just tested or someone is urging you to take immediate action, take a breath. You have time to make a thoughtful, informed decision, including doing nothing right now.

​Common Radon Myths vs. Facts About Radon

Fiction: “Radon only gets into some homes.”
Fact: Radon enters every home through natural pressure differentials in foundations and walls.

Fiction: “You can usually tell if your home has radon.”
Fact: Radon is completely odorless and invisible. Only a test can confirm your level.

Fiction: “It only takes one short-term test to determine your level.”
Fact: Radon fluctuates daily. A single short-term test is just a snapshot, not a permanent measure.

Fiction: “Anything above 2.7 pCi/L is dangerous.”
Fact: The national mitigation threshold is 4.0 pCi/L. The 2.7 figure is often used in marketing, not policy.

Fiction: “Radon is an immediate danger.”
Fact: Radon risk builds slowly over many years. It is a chronic exposure risk, not an emergency.

Fiction: “Doctors can look at a tumor and tell it was caused by radon.”
Fact: Tumors look identical under a microscope regardless of cause; radon leaves no distinct biological fingerprint or unique genetic mutation.

Fiction: “Personal stories prove what caused an individual's cancer.”
Fact: While personal accounts reflect real experiences, individual medical causation cannot be definitively attributed to radon outside of broad population studies.

Fiction: “Mitigation is a permanent cure.”
Fact: Mitigation dramatically reduces radon levels, but it requires verification and maintenance over time.

Fiction: “A proper mitigation plan can be designed without an inspecting technician.”
Fact: Every home's physics are unique. A proper system requires a site-specific evaluation, not a cookie-cutter quote.

In Summary

• You are not in immediate danger; radon does not cause short-term emergencies.
• Your long-term risk is real but modest and builds slowly over many years.
• Mitigation is a smart, preventive investment, never something that requires rushing.
