What are radon levels like in Manitoba?
Radon concentrations differ from house to house and region to region, but every region in Canada has some homes with high levels.
Based on Health Canada’s 2012 Cross-Canada Survey of Radon Concentrations in Homes, 19% of homes in Manitoba measured above the radon guideline of 200 becquerels per cubic metre (200 Bq/m3). However, in certain regions up to 44% of homes were above the guideline level.
Subsequent testing in communities has found regions with over 90% of homes testing above the guideline level.
Remember: no matter what percentage of homes in a region test above the guideline level, it’s impossible to know what the radon level will be in any given home until it is tested. Every home needs to test!

“We knew it was important to test for radon levels in our home, and despite having a newer home with a solid foundation our radon levels were extremely high. Mitigation was a worthwhile investment that produced immediate results, reducing our radon levels to as low as levels found outdoors. We encouraged all our family members to test their levels too as we learned that our region has some of the highest radon deposits in the world. We now have peace of mind that our family is protected from radon exposure in the places we spend the most of our time.”
