The usual approach

A short-term test means a sealed-house condition for at least 48 hours with a continuous monitor or a pair of charcoal detectors placed at the lowest lived-in level. The house has to stay closed the whole time, which is the part that most often invalidates a result. In New Jersey the placement and the reading both have to be done by a certified measurement business for the result to count in a real-estate transaction.

The right answer depends on your specific building, which is why somebody has to measure it.
