Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas.  Radon is odorless, colorless, tasteless and it is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers in the United States.  The Federal EPA estimates that radon causes around 22,000 lung cancer deaths every year (officially linked, but we all know the number is larger).  

​

Radon comes from the natural decay of uranium metals in soil, rock, and water which gets ultimately into the air you breathe.  Radon gas enters our homes through cracks and other openings in the foundation.  When this happens, your home traps radon gas inside the home, where it builds up rather quickly. 

​

There are no immediate radon health symptoms.  But it is medically proven that radon exposure causes lung cancer over a span of 5 years to 30 years, depending on the individual and intensity/length of radon exposure.  The only way to know your home radon levels is to actually test your home for radon gas. 

​

If you live in an area with high radon levels (almost all of Central Ohio), and your home has never been tested or you are planning to buy a home, you should get your home tested.  If you find that you have high radon levels, you should search 'radon remediation near me', or better yet, CALL THE RADON REAPERZ® FOR RADON GAS REMOVAL SERVICES IMMEDIATELY.
