How Does Radon Affect Your Health?

January was National Radon Action Month Information. Did you know that radon can be found essentially anywhere and had been known to cause cancer? Radon levels can vary from location to location and it is important to do frequent testing. Kits to test radon can be found in a lot of hardware stores, online or you can have a company come out and test for you. 

So what is radon? According to the CDC, it "is a radioactive gas that forms naturally." Anyone can be exposed to radon by simply breathing in the gas that emanates from cracks in the foundation of a home or business. 

What now? If your home or business has a high level of radon (anything higher than 4.0pCi/L) then you should have it mitigated. Mitigation can be done by a company that specializes in it by achieving ventilation and sealing any cracks in the foundational structure in which the gas may have seeped through.
