We also know it can be mastered and tamed. We have that power. But according to WHO only 12% of countries they surveyed provide radon education to building professionals. From experience in speaking with the public, when they learn about Radon, and it’s affects, they are more than willing to take action.

Fixing is the least expensive part of the financial equation, getting cancer of the lungs is the most costly in money but more importantly lives and futures.
Imagine having all the pieces of the Radon portion of the cancer of the lungs puzzle put together, where can we go from there and who will be able to change their course in life?

have a better chance of long-term living! It is also about the future and those who come after us, the children who because of long term exposure will become a heart wrenching statistic in the future which we are starting to see now. It is about the 20% plus of never smokers, mostly women who it is affecting women who are the caretakers of so many worldwide. The glue that holds so many together in many ways.
Radon is also something that has been on the radar for many years; in the 50’s and 60’s it was discovered that radon particles were the cause of lung cancer with miners. In 1984 there was the Watras Incident (3) when Stanley J. Watras set off the radiation monitor systems when entering a nuclear power plant and not leaving the plant. It was in his home! Discovery by accident.
We know Radon is classified by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans, with a well-established link to lung cancer. The 2012 IARC review of Group 1 carcinogens reaffirmed this classification first shown in the following report: IARC MONOGRAPH VOL. 43, 1988 (GROUP 1) (2)
