In support of the UK Radon Association's annual awareness campaign, Lucion, a proud member of the association, is helping to raise awareness about the critical importance of radon testing in properties across the UK.
This year’s campaign, running from 4-10 November 2024, marks a decade of crucial work in educating property owners and managers about this silent health risk.
Understanding the Silent Risk
Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, poses a significant but often overlooked health risk in properties across the UK. As the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, radon exposure claims over 1,100 lives annually. This colourless, odourless gas can accumulate to dangerous levels when it enters buildings from surrounding soil and rocks.
Taking Action To Mitigate Radon Risk
While many property owners are diligent about visible safety measures like smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, radon often goes unnoticed. However, testing for radon is a straightforward process that could make a crucial difference to occupant health and safety.
As specialists in radiation protection and environmental risk management, Lucion offers comprehensive radon services including:
- Radon Surveys and Testing: Our experienced team conducts detailed assessments using state-of-the-art equipment to accurately measure radon concentrations in your property

- The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17)
