ASHI Reporter • SEPTEMBER 2020
adioactive radon gas exposure can be described as a natural disaster, just like hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes. The difference is that the tragic outcomes of radon exposure happen silently over time. Approximately 21,000 people lose their lives to this silent killer each year without warning. Citizens for Radioactive Radon Reduction (CR3) hopes to inform you, the members of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), to help prevent future deaths.
