14 OF EVERY 100 HOUSES HAS A RADON PROBLEM
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
now recommends every house be tested for radon

and retested on a regular schedule.

 

          Did you know that every house has some radon in it and 14 out of every 100 houses has dangerously high radon levels?

          Everyone is at risk of radiation exposure from radon and older adults and children are most susceptible to the adverse health effects which include some cancers such as lung cancer, stomach cancer and leukemia.  Radon is also believed to cause or aggravate asthma.

          If there are children in your home or if you are pregnant or planning to adopt a baby or young child, or if you sometimes care for grandchildren or other children in your home, you especially want to be sure the indoor environment is safe and healthy for the kids.

          The potential for serious disease increases with exposure over time.  The average American receives 55% of his or her exposure to radiation from radon in their own home!  We're exposed to radon everywhere and your own home is the only place where you can control how much radon you're exposed to and so its vitally important to test your house and reduce the radon levels if necessary.

          Test kits are so inexpensive and so easy and fast to use that you can afford to test your home, your parents' homes and the homes of your grown children and everyone in else in your family, and the homes of anyone who regularly cares for your child.  Radon is such a major health threat that you can't afford not to test and now you can also order digital radon detectors and always know the radon level in your home.

YOUR HOME NEEDS A RADON TEST

Radon causes lung cancer and British researches are accumulating data that indicates radon may cause or aggravate asthma and other respiratory illnesses and cancer of the stomach and liver.  Geology is dynamic and radon levels can and do change so test often  

          The EPA is concerned with the potential number of residential and commercial buildings that still have dangerous radon levels simply because they have not been tested.   Lifespace Corporation  joins EPA in the initiative to encourage radon resistant new construction and more radon testing in all types of buildings where people spend their time. Many people spend significant hours in homes, apartments, schools and businesses and may be at risk from radon.

          Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. Radon is a by-product of the decay of uranium and can travel for miles underground. All residential, commercial, institutional and school buildings have some radon. Since geology is dynamic and always changing, every home should have either a continuous-read in-home monitor or regular annual radon testing. 

          British researchers now believe radon may cause or aggravate asthma, allergies, leukemia, stomach cancer and liver cancer!   Radon definitely causes lung cancer, this is a well known and proven fact and only cigarette smoking causes more lung cancer deaths than radon! We're exposed to radiation from a variety of sources each day. Radon, sunlight, televisions, computer monitors and many other sources. Of these, radon in the home is the largest single source of radiation and the one most easily limited.                 .
