Radon is a serious health hazard for homeowners. This odorless, invisible, and tasteless gas is a known carcinogen linked to approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. annually.
Understanding Radon Gas
How Radon Is Measured
Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L), a unit of radioactivity.
Safe Levels
Outdoor radon levels average 0.4 pCi/L. The EPA recommends action for levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
Mitigation Solutions
Licensed professionals, such as Radon Reduction Systems, Inc., can install systems to reduce radon in your home and safeguard your family.
Health Risks
At 4.0 pCi/L, radon poses about 1,000 times the risk of death compared to other EPA-classified carcinogens.
Cancer Connection
The American Lung Association reports that lung cancer risk increases by 16% for every 2.7 pCi/L increase in radon levels.
