DESCRIPTION
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms when uranium, thorium, or radium, which are radioactive metals, break down in rock, soil and water. Radon can build up to dangerous levels inside any home. This includes new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without a basement. Radon gas is odorless and invisible and the only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test for it. Breathing radon can increase your risk of lung cancer. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among people who do not smoke. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer for people who do. EPA estimates that radon causes about 21,000 deaths from lung cancer each year in the U.S. If you smoke and your home has a high radon level, your risk of lung cancer can increase even more. Please join us for a short presentation about radon and PICK UP A FREE RADON TEST KIT TO TEST YOUR HOME.
