Reduce Radon Levels In Your Home
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the
second leading cause of lung cancer for the general population. The
Surgeon General and EPA recommend testing for radon and reducing
radon in homes that have high levels. Fix your home if your radon level
is confirmed to be 4 picocuries per liter, pCi/L, or higher. Radon levels
less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced.
If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung
cancer is especially high.
