Radon is a form of radiation that can build up in structures-homes , schools , and workplaces coming from the decay products of uranium in the soil and rocks in the ground beneath the building .
RADON AWARENESS IS
SAVING
Radioactive alpha particles released into the air can be inhaled into our lungs , attach to cells in the lining of the lungs , change the DNA of those cells , develop into cancerous cells , and spread throughout our bodies .
Radon gas is invisible , odorless , and tasteless . The only way to detect its presence is to perform a simple test . High radon levels have been found in every state in our nation . Radon problems do vary from area to area , even house to house . The only way to know the level of radon you are being exposed to is to test .
" Comparative human health-based risk assessment performed by the U . S . EPA and numerous state agencies have consistently ranked radon among the most important environmental health risks facing the nation . The time for more aggressive action to battle this deadly killer has long passed . In the last half century alone one million people have died from radon exposure in the U . S ."
Dr. Bill Field , Professor of Public Health & member of the World Health Organization ' s International Radon Project .
