Supreme Radon is your trusted Radon mitigation specialist

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that you can’t see, taste or smell. It is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. High levels of radon have been found in all 50 states. Indoor radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon contributes to an estimated 7,000 to 30,000 lung cancer deaths each year. A combination of smoking and high levels of radon in your house increases your risk.

Radon enters homes most commonly through: cracks in foundations openings around sump pumps and drains construction joints cracks in walls crawl spaces less commonly, well water

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Many homes contain radon concentrations that are high enough to give their occupants lifetime exposures that could increase their risk of developing lung cancer. As one inhales, radon decay products in the inhaled air are deposited in the lungs. Radon and its decay products emit alpha and beta particles and gamma photons. The alpha particles are very damaging if emitted from radioactive material within the body. The alpha particles can strike sensitive lung tissue causing damage to the cells in the lungs subsequently increasing the risk of lung cancer. The risk associated with this exposure is thought to increase linearly with rising radon concentration, so the higher the average radon level is in a house, and the longer the exposure period, the greater the risk to the occupants. Breathing radon does not cause any short-term health effects such as shortness of breath, coughing, headaches, or fever.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon contributes to an estimated 7,000 to 30,000 lung cancer deaths per year. The Surgeon General, the EPA, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Medical Association, and the American Lung Association have all identified indoor radon as a national health problem. EPA recommends that all homes and apartments below the third floor be tested. As with all pollutants, there is some uncertainty in estimating health risks associated with radon. Because radon risk estimates are based primarily on scientific studies of humans, scientists are considerably more certain of radon risk estimates than they are of estimates based solely on animal studies. If you are a smoker, your risk of developing lung cancer increases by up to 15 times.

Radon is measured in units of picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of air. The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon in homes that have a radon level at or above 4 pCi/L of air. The lower the average pCi/L level in the air you breathe, the lower your risk of getting lung cancer.

EPA states that any radon exposure carries some risk; no level of radon exposure is safe. However, the EPA recommends homes be fixed if an occupant's long-term exposure will average 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.

Testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated levels of radon. An easy home test kit can be purchased at hardware or home improvement stores for about $20 to $30. You may also hire a state-certified testing company. Because radon levels are often highest in the basement, placing your test there is a good idea.
