EPA Says Radon Is A Threat in 1 of 15 Homes
According to two recent public service announcements from the Environmental Protection Agency found here: http://www.epa.gov/radon/video/rooftops_psa.mpeg and here http://www.epa.gov/radon/video/people_eng_30.mpg, radon is a silent, but potentially deadly invader of too many homes. Detecting and fixing a radon problem, however, is easier than you may think.
Did you know:
- Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer?
- Radon is a threat in 1 out of 15 homes, so the surgeon general recommends that every house be tested for radon because you can't see it, smell it, or taste it?
- Many lung cancer victims never knew about this risk that may have caused their cancer?
But there’s hope! A simple home radon test can detect a radon problem and even homes with high radon levels can be fixed. A home radon test is cheap and only takes a few days. If you do find out that you have high radon levels, you can find a radon remediation professional who can install a radon remediation system including a radon fan. This system, including installation, generally costs less than a thousand dollars. So, don’t delay. Test your home today!
