Q: Is radon a serious problem?

• <div><p>Radon is present almost everywhere but, like sunlight, the concentration levels and how often you are exposed to it have a large part to play in just how dangerous it is. There are levels of radon that are acceptable inside a house, but above a certain limit, radon becomes a serious radioactive hazard that is a known cause of lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the number two leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking).</p></div>

Q: What is considered a safe or dangerous level of radon?

• <div><p>No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.</p></div>

Q: What is the biggest source of radon?

• <div><p>The soil beneath your house is most likely what&rsquo;s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it&rsquo;s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn&rsquo;t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.</p></div>

Q: How often should radon levels be tested to ensure safety?

• <div><p>Testing every 2-5 years or upon adjusting occupancy or structural changes maintains safe environments.</p></div>

Q: What would cause radon in a house?

• <div><p>The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.</p></div>
