Radon Kits

Radon is an odourless and colourless gas that is the product of the natural breakdown of uranium in the ground. 

According to a Health Canada survey, an estimated 5% of homes in Hamilton will have higher levels than the recommended guidelines. These detectors will allow customers to perform tests on their homes. 

We have a limited supply of radon detector test kits. They are currently in circulation. The device can only be renewed three (3) times.

Radon detector test kits must be checked in and out manually and returned at the Information Desk to any of our branches. To avoid damage, they can not be returned in the drop box or sorter. 

Contact Hamilton Public Health at HHVBDadmin@hamilton.ca if you would like to order a free long-term radon test kit while supplies last. For more information, visit the City of Hamilton's website.

Learn more about radon detection with HPL's Healthy Air, Healthy Hamilton list of resources to borrow.
