Radon Health Risks
Learn about the health risks of radon and how Alpine Radon can help keep your home safe.
What is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that is naturally produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes and buildings through cracks and gaps in the foundation. Once inside, it can accumulate to dangerous levels, posing a significant health risk to occupants. At Alpine Radon, we understand the importance of keeping your home safe from this invisible threat. Our services, including radon testing, radon mitigation, and continuous monitoring, are designed to protect you and your family from the harmful effects of radon exposure.
Health Risks of Radon Exposure
Exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, following smoking. Radon exposure is particularly dangerous because it can go unnoticed until serious health issues arise. Prolonged exposure to radon increases the risk of developing lung cancer, even among non-smokers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Surgeon General’s Office have both warned that radon is a significant health hazard that should not be ignored. By understanding the risks associated with radon, you can take proactive steps to protect your health and that of your loved ones.
