# Acorn Environmental Testing

> Local family-owned environmental testing company serving every city and town in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. NRSB certified radon testing, and lead hazard mitigation testing with Certificates of Lead Conformance for landlords and homeowners.

Acorn Environmental Testing inspects homes and rental units. For radon, the company places a 48-hour continuous radon monitor and, when requested, collects a well-water sample. For lead, Acorn performs a lead hazard mitigation inspection. When the dwelling meets the lead hazard mitigation standard, Acorn issues a Certificate of Lead Conformance to the landlord or homeowner. A certificate of conformance is not a lead-free certificate. If hazards are still present, the customer receives a written report instead.
