Radon Test-Occupied Home

I have what seems like a stupid question, just because I’m questioning myself. Is it possible to do a radon test in an occupied home with kids and dogs. And will the accuracy be any different as long as you maintain closed home conditions except regular entry and exit?
And does anyone have reference of this? Thanks

Ok, I’ll read that soon. Lol What’s the short answer. I did ask for a reference. But I needed a short answer/opinion too. Thanks

You’ve got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It’s called perseverance. – Lee Iacocca

Yes. I do it every week. Often several times.

I Do have the home owner sign an authorization agreement which states doors and windows must be kept closed. I also use a monitor that records temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, if monitor was tampered with, etc.

Awesome. Thanks
