RADON
Quote
1 OUT OF 15
Any home can have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well- sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
Nearly one out of every 15 homes in the United States is estimated to have an elevated radon level (4 pCi/L or more). Elevated levels of radon gas have been found in homes in your state.
There are no safe levels of radon, and there's no way to eradicate it. In homes where there are smokers present and smoking indoors (instead of outside), the risk of developing lung cancer will be much higher. Levels above 4 pCi/L are considered actionable, so those are in the dangerous levels of radon for indoors.
In small quantities, experts say this is harmless. However, in persistent exposures or larger quantities, radon can damage the cells of the lining of the lungs, increasing a person's chance of developing lung cancer. Radon can't be entirely prevented since it's naturally present in the air.Feb 12, 2019
