The US Environmental Protection Agency's Position On Radon
- There is no scientific doubt that Radon gas is a known human lung carcinogen.
- Prolonged exposure to high levels of Radon gas can cause lung cancer.
- Millions of homes and buildings contain high levels of radon gas.
- The EPA's efforts are directed at locating the homes with high levels and
encouraging mitigation of them.
- As a means of prevention, the EPA and the Office of the Surgeon General
recommend that all homes below the third floor be tested for Radon.
- Because Radon is invisible and odorless, a simple test is the only way to
determine if a home has high radon levels.
- The EPA recommends mitigating homes with high Radon levels and there are
straight-forward reduction techniques that will work in most any home.
- Most homes won't have a Radon problem, but there is a simple test to find out if
you do or don't have high Radon levels in your home.
