Hello Everyone,
November is Radon awareness month. Radon is in all our homes. It is a radioactive gas that seeps into your home, schools, daycares, and workplaces from the ground under your home.
Please invest in a radon detector (RadonEye - Radoncorp) and monitor your home. The RadonEye is a digital reader that will give you readings every 10 minutes. If you’re concerned about the cost of radon mitigation ($3-4,000) just open your windows to evacuate this highly carcinogenic radioactive gas. I have lung cancer and am a non-smoker. I tested my previous homes (built 1960-1992) and all had concerning radon levels. New construction, air tight homes have proven to raise radon to even higher levels.
Smoking plus living in a home with radon only compounds your lung vulnerability to cancer. I bought 3 radon detectors for my home and placed them in my children’s bedrooms. Eliminating radon will prevent further destruction of my lungs and not counteract my treatment.
The medical community is not knowledgeable on radon.
***If you are going to check your home please let me know. It will give me great satisfaction if I can give longevity to you, your spouse, children, and pets.***
My mandate is to save lives. Spread the word.
