How Can Radon Affect Your Health?
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, “Indoor radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and breathing it in over a prolonged period of time can present a significant health risk to families”.
If you would like to test your residence, consider hiring a qualified radon measuring professional like Guzi-West Inspections. Our certified staff will measure your home’s radon levels, provide a written report of findings, and if your home contains elevated levels of Radon (above 4pCi/L as determined by EPA), we will recommend solutions. Re-testing should be conducted after any remodel or renovation.

What is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. The gas is produced during the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon typically moves up through the ground and into a home through cracks and/or holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter your home through well water brought in through the plumbing system. Nearly 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States has elevated levels of radon (4pCi/L or more).

Surface Testing Methodology and Protocol for COVID-19 Inspection and Testing
GuziWest has developed a surface testing swab sampling methodology and protocol for COVID-19 Inspection/Testing based upon information published by the CDC and World Health Organization (WHO). In conjunction with a CA-certified laboratory performing Covid-19 PCR testing, we’re able to offer rapid information on the safety of your working surfaces and the potential presence of COVID-19 virus within your office or production facility.Friday, May 15, 2020
Evaluating COVID-19 Test Methods
Recent studies have shown viable coronavirus can be detected up to three hours later in the air, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is best practice for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in your household and in community settings. Regular household cleaners are effective, including bleach solutions and alcohol solutions of at least 70% alcohol. The EPA provides a list of disinfectants effective against COVID-19. Depending on the length of time in the facility and the areas traversed by the confirmed COVID-19 case, consideration may be given to using a professional cleaning/disinfection service and extreme measures such as ozonation, UV disinfection, and/or ULV fogging.
