Radon is reported in picoCuries per liter (pCi/L). According to the EPA 4 pCi/L is considered a Action level which means additional long term testing and mitigation procedures should be recommended for the tested location. In addition the Florida Department of Health consider this level as a mandatory reporting to their department and strongly suggest mitigation be conducted due to potential health effects of exposure to radon.
