If you want to check the levels of radiation in your home from building materials, the basement and other potential sources, you can use a radiation Geiger counter. This widely used instrument finds gamma rays, alpha and beta particles, and nuclear radiation. Instead of having a professional come to test your home, you can actually buy your own Geiger counter.
