HOME HEALTH:
Keeping your home safe

Checking the levels of radon in your home can be life-saving. Text or email us the word “Radon” with your name and address by 2/29 and you will be entered to win a free professional radon test.
OST PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF THE RADON LEVELS in their home until a buyer performs a test during the sale process. Testing is easy and low-cost—and it could save your life. You can’t see or smell radon gas, but it’s dangerous. Breathing in high levels of radon can raise your risk of lung cancer, but it’s easy to fix once you know you have a problem. There’s always some radon in the air around us as it comes naturally from rocks and dirt in the ground. The problem is when radon gas from underneath a foundation leaks in through cracks or gaps; too much of it can cause a build-up inside your home. When you breathe it in, particles can get trapped in your lungs, and over time can cause lung cancer. The more contact you have with radon gas, the greater your risk: one in fifteen homes have high radon levels, and it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the U.S., causing about 21,000 deaths each year.* If you are concerned about the levels in your home, call us today for advice on the best sources of information and testing. n — Shaunna Burhop *Source: cdc.gov
