Radon gas
68% of our exposure to natural radiation sources usually comes from radon. Radon gas is colorless and odorless, and almost all soils contain odorless gas produced by uranium decay. The radon level in this country has changed. Radon gas usually moves on their foundation and migrates to homes and other buildings through suppression and other holes. Radon gas will accumulate in indoor buildings. If the buildings are poorly ventilated, radon gas will accumulate and may cause harm to health.
When you breathe air containing a lot of radon, radiation may damage your lungs and eventually lead to lung cancer. Scientists believe that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It is estimated that 7,000 to 30,000 Americans die of lung cancer caused by radon every year. Smoking alone leads to more lung cancer deaths, and the risk of exposure of smokers to radon is higher than that of non-smokers who control the risk of radon exposure.
Radon gas was found in America. Scientists estimate that the radon level of almost 65,438+05 families in this country is even higher than 4 pico-curies per liter, which exceeds the level recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency, and the homeowners have taken punishment measures.
How radon gas is measured per liter in the air. Testing your home is the only way to know whether you and your family are threatened by radon.
Testing radon is easy, and it only takes a few times to record the time. There are many cheap "do-it-yourself" radon test kits, which can be bought by mail or from retail and wholesale markets. You can also hire an expert to do the test.
Find a qualified expert to check your radon exposure. Some states keep working in their states, and states may have a list of skilled contractors or their own procedural requirements. You can also contact a private radon level project. The EPA is aware of two private projects that provide radon testing and mitigation capabilities.
