Does Your Home Have An Indoor Air Quality Management Plan?

---

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Radon Is the Leading Environmental Cause of Lung Cancer Death. Radon exposure leads to more lung cancer deaths every year than any other environmental source in the United States—an estimated 21,000 (2 people per day) loose their lives to lung cancer from radon each year. 

Studies have shown that radon is present in 1 in 15 U.S. homes. 

Radon is a radioactive, odorless, invisible gas that is found in soil and rocks. It seeps undetected into cracks and gaps in buildings, where it can be present in high concentrations. Because people spend most of their time indoors, high levels of radon can put their health at risk. The only way to find out if indoor air has high radon levels is through a simple test. 

When dangerous levels of radon are found indoors, the solution can be quite straightforward. Qualified professionals can install a system that prevents high levels of radon from accumulating inside the building. New buildings can be designed and built using radon-resistant construction techniques. These efforts save lives today and into the future.
