Radon by municipality

The average found in measured homes across the country has been 225 Bq/m³, and 19.9% of the measured homes exceeded 300 Bq/m³ (average of statistics for 2000–2023). The figures describe measured homes: most measurements have been made in areas where radon is known to occur, so the average is higher than the average of all homes (about 94 Bq/m³ according to STUK). The only way to know the level in your own home is to measure.

Meters: digital or laboratory measurement?

The laboratory measurement is the official annual average. A digital meter shows the concentration immediately and continuously, so you can see, for example, the effect of a repair or the situation in a cottage. Prices are price-comparison levels as of 10/2026 and may change.

How the measurement is done

  1. Date
    Measure between 1.9. and 31.5., when the result best matches the annual average.
  2. Duration
    At least two months, preferably three or more.
  3. Places
    Usually two meters: living room and bedroom, on the lowest residential floor.
  4. Result
    Compare the annual average with the reference value of 300 Bq/m³. If it is exceeded, the radon is remediated.

Result above the reference value? How radon is remediated

The most common remedies are a radon blower or well, sealing the base floor and penetrations, and adjusting ventilation. The most effective method depends on the house and the soil, so the repair should be planned with a professional and measured again afterwards. The labour part of the repair work may qualify for the household deduction.

Frequently asked questions

What is the radon reference level?

The reference value for the annual average radon concentration in a home's indoor air is 300 Bq/m³. For new construction the design value is 200 Bq/m³ (STUK).

When should radon be measured?

The measurement season is 1.9.–31.5., and the measurement must last at least two months. Two meters are usually used: one in the living room and one in the bedroom.

Which is better, a digital meter or a STUK canister?

STUK's laboratory measurement gives the official annual average. A digital meter shows the concentration continuously and suits monitoring, checking the effect of a repair and a cottage. A consumer meter is not an official measurement.

How dangerous is radon?

According to STUK, after smoking radon is the most significant cause of lung cancer: in Finland about 150–270 lung cancer cases a year are linked to radon.
