National Radon Month
Did You Screen This Month? It’s Not Too Late!
January 2012 Sunday, January 1st Happy New Year!
Monday, January 2nd Chamber Office Closed
Thursday, January 5th New Member Orientation Chamber Office 3:30-5:00 pm January is National Radon Month – a designation intended to raise awareness about the hazards of radon and the need for all homeowners to test their homes for radon. Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas, which is formed by the natural breakdown of uranium. Radon can be found in high concentrations in rock and soil that contains granite, shale, phosphate and uranium, or even fill soil containing industrial waste. Radon can be present in any area, but typically concerns are higher in hilly or mountainous areas and lower in sandy, coastal areas. Radon gas moves through the soil toward the earth’s surface where it either safely dissipates in outdoor air or seeps into homes through cracks and gaps in the foundation. Radon can also be introduced into a home through the water-supply, particularly if there is a private well. Once trapped inside a home, radon can accumulate to the point where it can be harmful to the occupants. Actually, it is the breakdown of radon, into what is referred to as radon decay products, that represents the greatest concern. These radioactive products become attached to airborne particles, which can be inhaled and ultimately cause lung tissue damage and cancer. Smokers are especially prone to the adverse effects of long-term radon exposure.

If radon is a concern in your home, elevated radon levels are more likely to occur during the winter months when the house is generally in closed-house conditions. The best way to test your home's radon level is by purchasing a special test kit or by hiring a professional to perform the measurement. Studies show approximately one in 15 homes in the United States contain high levels of naturally occurring, invisible and odorless radioactive radon gas. National and state radon maps indicating the potential for elevated radon levels have been developed. With millions of homeowner continuing to be unknowingly exposed to this dangerous gas, the EPA and the Surgeon General continue to urge people to test their homes for radon at least every two years. Remember, these tips are only general guidelines. Since each situation is different, contact a professional if you have questions about a specific issue.
