Symptoms of radon exposure
METRO CREATIVE
Although radon is a naturally occurring substance, it can be detrimental to human health. One of the dangers associated with radon is that it is not something that can be seen, smelled or tasted. Plus, it can take years before radon exposure begins to produce symptoms.
Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, radioactive gas, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It forms when uranium, a heavy metal found in the ground and in most rocks on Earth, decays and turns into another metal called radium. When radium breaks down, it becomes radon.
Typically, radon is in such small amounts outdoors in the air and water that it isn’t harmful. But if radon becomes concentrated, it can be toxic if exposure is high and extensive.
Initially, a person may not realize that radon is posing a problem. Radon can get into the lining of the lungs when breathed in and will give off radiation. Over time, that radiation can damage the cells in the lungs and lead to lung cancer, according to WebMD. In fact, radon is the second
biggest cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking.
Radon poisoning symptoms may start off small, and it can be challenging to connect them to anything amiss until they are prolonged. There typically are not any symptoms until lung cancer has formed and progressed to a later stage. However, individuals should always be on the lookout for a prolonged cough, bloody mucus, unexplained weight loss, chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain. Frequent infections like bronchitis and pneumonia also are concerning.
Some types of soil are more permeable than others, which means radon gas can pass through more easily, according to WebMD. Other soils may have higher concentrations of radon. Soil that’s dry, cracks when dry, is on a slope or hill, or thin with bedrock close to the surface may contain excessive amounts of radon.
Every homeowner is advised to test their home for radon.
Radon, although naturally occurring, is a threat to lung health. Since damage occurs over many years, it is essential to detect radon as early as possible to avoid prolonged exposure.

Classic touches to transform home interiors this holiday season
METRO CREATIVE
Painter Norman Rockwell was famous for his narrative paintings depicting the essence of American life in the mid-20th century. His works of art blended sentimentality with humor and realism and were featured on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post for decades. Some of his paintings portray the classic tableaus that evoke traditional feelings of the holiday season. Rockwell’s classic paintings may inspire individuals to recreate that mid-century feel when decorating this holiday season. When transforming home interiors for the holidays, these classic touches can make moments more magical.
• Embrace classic color palettes. Christmas colors include, red, green, white and gold. Utilizing these colors throughout a home will set a classic tone.
• Utilize timeless ornaments. Cherished ornaments collected through the years will add a classic touch to the
Christmas tree. Family heirlooms and ornaments made from quality materials lend a touch of nostalgia.
• Use cozy textiles. Wrap the home in cozy touches, like plaid blankets and velvet ribbons. Plush throws and seasonal pillows also can add a traditional touch to interior spaces.
• Decorate with classic figurines. Nutcrackers and religious figurines lend a traditional touch to holiday decor.
• Display a live tree. Artificial trees can look realistic, but a fragrant live evergreen in front of the living room picture window calls to mind a classic Christmas setting.
• Hang knit stockings. Celebrants lucky enough to have a fireplace can hang knit stockings in classic holiday colors from the mantel.
• Play classic tunes. Holiday music crosses various genres, but the old standards from Bing Crosby or Andy Williams can set a classic feel when entertaining.
