The Health Effects
What is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas that causes lung cancer. Radon can also reside at very high dangerous levels inside homes, schools, offices, and other buildings. Being exposed to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking in the United States.
Information about Radon
According to the EPA, Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. Radon gas is inert, colorless, and odorless, and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Nationally, the EPA estimates that about 21,000 people die each year from radon-related lung cancer. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. Radon gas becomes trapped indoors after it enters buildings through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon does not discriminate; you’ll find it in brand-new homes as well as homes built over a hundred years ago.
Steps to take
You can take steps to reduce and control the amount of radon in your home. Testing is the only way to determine radon levels. Have your home tested by the professionals*. We’ll come in, set up the equipment, and begin recording the radon levels for a minimum of 52 hours. If the radon levels are high, contact a certified radon service professional to fix your home. EPA guidance suggests mitigating if levels are at or above 4 picocuries/liter. Usually, radon problems are fixed using an underground ventilation system that basically sucks air from beneath the home and expels it above the roof line into the atmosphere. There it disperses to harmless levels.
