Radon

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that is produced by decaying uranium in the soils and rocks under homes. The gas seeps into the structure through cracks in concrete slabs & foundations and/or through exposed earthen floors in crawlspaces.

Radon is found throughout the United States. Radon levels can vary widely throughout regions, neighborhoods and even from houses side by side.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer with approximately 20,000 lung cancer deaths per year. It is the LEADING cause of lung cancer deaths in non-smokers.

The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that homes with levels of radon above 4 piCu/l of air be mitigated.
