  • Keep Your Family Safe With A Radon Detector  By : Steve Brown
    Beware! A horror hides in everybody's domicile. The problem is you can't feel or see it. It is the cause of twenty one thousand deaths each year in the US from lung cancer. That monster is radon and you could be its next victim.

    Radon is an invisible gas that you can't detect. However, that is not an indication for you to ignore it. None other than the US Surgeon General mentioned radon as the cause for most lung cancer deaths in the United States, next only to the evil of smoking. If you're a smoker and you have high radon levels in your home, your chances of getting lung cancer greatly increases.

    "Radon can be found all over the United States. It can get into any type of building - homes, offices, and schools - and result in a high indoor radon level. But you and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposure at home, where you spend most of your time," according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.

    What is the source of radon? The natural breakdown of uranium rocks and water in soil produces a radioactive byproduct. From the ground it moves to the air and invades your home through cracks and other holes.

    Radon is toxic to everyone, and one in fifteen homes in the United States has elevated radon levels. You can find this deadly gas in old or new homes as well as homes with or without a basement. Schools, offices, and other places where people work often have the problem.

    To determine the amount of radon in the air, "pico curies per liter of air" or "pCi/L" is used.A radon level of 4pCi/l or above is a problem However, even if you don't, don't make the mistake of thinking you're in the clear -- even this low a level can be harmful.

    Most places will find that the radon detector shows them at a level of one.3 pCi/L, and about 0.What you find normally in the outside air is 4pCi/L of radon. The US Congress has set a long-term goal that indoor radon levels be no more than outdoor levels. According to the EPA, many of today's current homes can be reduced to 2 pCi/L or below, but keep in mind that while this is a lofty goal it is not possible in all cases.

    You must check your air with a radon gas detector if you want to be positive that radon levels in your home aren't dangerous. Both the EPA and Surgeon General have stated that for all areas, this should be done below the third floor It involves only nominal expenditure. Radon gas testing can be done easily at HomeRadonTest.The Radon Water Detection Kit, the Granite Counter Top Radon Detection Kit, and a variety of other tests can be found here.
