Why Is Radon Mitigation So Crucial?
Radon is accountable for a minimum of 15,000 to 20,000 getting lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. In fact, radon direct exposure is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. This disaster is intensified by the fact that both radon screening and radon mitigation are easy and economical. While nationally 1 in 15 homes may reveal harmful levels of radon, the typical levels in numerous parts of the mid-Atlantic might be 2 to 3 times greater than this. There are no immediate signs of radon exposure and you can not see, taste, feel, or smell radon. Cancer can appear five to 25 years after exposure and about 12% of lung cancer diagnoses are triggered by radon.
