Radon Gas
A Major Health Concern
For 1 of 15 American Homes

Indoor Radon Gas is one of the leading causes of lung cancer in the country. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that  twenty one thousand (21,000)people die from lung cancer each year in the United States from exposure to indoor Radon Gas.

Worse yet, in some areas of the country, as many as one out of two homes has high levels of radon. Radon levels can soar during the colder months when residents keep windows and doors closed and spend more time indoors.

Americans could help prevent deaths and protect their families by testing their homes for radon.

The EPA Map of Radon Zones assigns each of the 3,141 counties in the U.S. to one of three zones based on radon potential.

Radon Gas - Major Health Concerns

Radon is a radioactive gas.

It is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Naturally existing, low levels of uranium occur widely in Earth's crust.

Radon is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert. Once produced, radon moves through the ground to the air above. It can be found in all 50 states.

Unless you test for it, there is no way of telling how much is present.

The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

Because radon gas is such a Major Health Concern, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated:

* The second week of October as National Radon Action Week National Radon Action Week (NRAW)

* January as National Radon Action Month (NRAM)

Environmental Health Center Radon Action Fact Sheet.

The National Safety Council has updated the estimates of lung cancer risks from indoor radon based on the National Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) report on  The Health Effects of Exposure to Indoor Radon.
