When you are ready to test your home, you can hire a qualified radon tester, very often a home inspector, who will use a radon device suitable to your situation. Also, you can purchase a test for around $10.00 directly from a qualified radon laboratory such as Airchek at www.radon.com or 1 800 AIR-CHEK.
ARCHIVED: What are bits, bytes, and other units of measure for digital information? A bit is a binary digit, the smallest increment of data on a computer. A bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1, corresponding to the electrical values of off or on, respectively. Because bits are so small, you rarely work with information one bit at a time. Bits are usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. A byte contains enough information to store a single ASCII character, like h.
A storage device may hold information, process information, or both. A device that only holds information is a recording medium. Devices that process information (data storage equipment) may either access a separate portable (removable) recording medium or a permanent component to store and retrieve data. Electronic data storage requires electrical power to store and retrieve that data.
