What is Radon?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas produced naturally outdoors in harmless amounts from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. Sometimes, it can get concentrated in homes built on soil with natural uranium deposits, or it can enter buildings through cracks in floors or walls, construction joints, or gaps in foundations around pipes, wires, or pumps. Radon levels are usually highest in the basement and \/ or crawl space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot see, smell or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home.  When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer.  In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today.  If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, exposure to RADON accounts for about 21,000 deaths from lung cancer each year.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Should Test for Radon!<\/em> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend that you test your home. Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot predict radon levels based on state, local, or neighborhood radon measurements.  Do not rely on radon test results taken in other homes in the neighborhood to estimate the radon level in your home.  Homes which are next to each other can have different radon levels.  Testing is the only way to find out what your home\u2019s radon level is. The EPA recommends that you know what the indoor radon level is in any home you are considering buying.  Ask the seller for their radon test results.  If the home has a radon-reduction system, ask the seller for information they have about the system. If the home has not yet been tested, you should have the house tested. If you are having a new home built, there are features that can be incorporated into your home during construction to reduce radon levels.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
