What is Radon ?
Why is it a problem ?
Radon is a noble gas which does not bind and escapes via gaps and cracks from the ground into the air. The problem occurs when radon gas enters your home and gets trapped. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can cause lung cancer. According to recent findings, five to ten per cent of the lung cancer cases in the European population can be attributed to the exposure to radon and its decay products in buildings.How does it enter a home ?
The gas moves from the soil into your home. Although it can seep directly through pores in concrete, the worst entry points are gaps in walls and floors. Any house, of any age, in any area can have elevated radon levels. It really depends on the way your specific house interacts with the surrounding soil. Your neighbour’s radon level may differ significantly from yours.For the original post, please check this Link On November 7th, the birthday of physicist Marie Curie, we also observe European Radon Day.
