What is Radon?
Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas
that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Radon comes from the
natural decay of uranium located in the Earth’s soil. The gas moves
up through the ground and enters your home by way of tiny
cracks/holes in the foundation. The gas may also enter your
house through your well water. Once
inside the home it mixes with the air you breathe and enters your
lungs.
Why Test For Radon?
According to the Surgeon General of the
United States, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer
within the USA. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths, but if
your home has high radon levels and you smoke, then your risk of
lung cancer is especially high. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association agree that long term
exposure to elevated levels of radon pose a significant health risk
to you and your family. Since radon is a colorless, odorless,
and tasteless gas, the only way to determine if radon is in your
home is by testing.
