Radon gas is the number two cause of lung cancer
in the US after cigarette smoking. It is difficult, in many instances, to
pinpoint the blame and yet radon & radon gas are still responsible for over
20,000 deaths per year in the United States. In addition, there are many other
complications to our health & respiratory system that can be attributed to the long
term exposure of radon gas.
Radon is a part of our natural world and exists worldwide. However, without
proper precautions it has the capability to destroy lives. We have an easy and affordable way to test for dangerous levels of radon

Radon gas is odorless & invisible. We cannot see, smell or taste
it, but it exists in the air you breathe and gets into the water you drink.
Typically the greatest exposure to radon is in the home, especially in the
lowest levels of the home that make contact with the ground where the
concentrations of radon gas are usually higher. Don't worry though; it does not
mean you have to move out and doze it to the ground! The good news is that radon
gas can be eliminated easily once detected. I recommend getting several
estimates from EPA approved contractors in your area. Check their references &
credentials before the time of your appointment. A qualified contractor will

suits your home the best.

The Basics on radon gas:
Radon is a radioactive gas found in many soils, rock, and water throughout the world. It is
naturally occurring in many types of terrain and geography. Radon has a
half-life of 3.823 days. Radon has
numerous different isotopes, but radon -220, and -222 are the most common. Radon
is a very heavy gas and emits alpha particles. Radon causes lung cancer and is a
threat to our respiratory health. Radon chemical symbol Rn and Atomic Number 86.
Where does radon come from? Radon is the decaying byproduct of Uranium. Since uranium is essentially ubiquitous in the earth's crust,
radium-226 and radon-222 are present in almost all rock, soil, and water.
