Learn About Risk From Radon
You can’t see, smell or taste radon, but it could be present at a dangerous
level in your home. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among
nonsmokers in America and claims the lives of about 21,000 Americans each
year. In fact, the EPA and the U.S.
Surgeon General urge all Americans to protect their health by testing their
homes, schools and other buildings for radon.
Exposure to radon is a preventable health risk. Testing radon levels in your
home can help prevent unnecessary exposure. Radon gas levels fluctuate by the
hour, day, month, and year. That is why long-term continuous monitoring is
very critical. Just because your radon test results may currently be below
acceptable levels, does not mean that they will always remain at those
levels. If a high radon level is detected in your home, take steps to fix the
problem to protect yourself and your family.
