Radon Eliminator Publishes Blog Post On “Where Does Radon Come From” And How It Can Affect Health

Uniontown, Ohio based Radon Eliminator has announced the publication of a new blog post on "Where Does Radon Come From" and how can it affect a person's health. The radon mitigation company provides information through their blog on a number of radon topics, as well as radon testing and mitigation.

Cedric Mims, a spokesperson for the company, says, "Ohio has one of the highest levels of radon exposure in the United States. We see a drastic need for reduction and offer our services not only to educate people on the dangers of radon, but to help eradicate this dangerous gas."

Mims says that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and that it kills more than 21,000 people every year, more than drunk drivers on an annual basis. It is the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths in the United States currently.

"Ohio is just saturated with high levels of radon," says Mims. "You do not want to risk exposure. You do not want to have radon in your home and not have it mitigated. It can especially be dangerous to young children, older citizens, those who are not in the best of health and pets."

Mims says that the new blog post was written to further educate people on the dangers of radon. The company regularly publishes posts that explain more about the radon danger, how it began, how to stop it and other information. The latest blog post is about where radon comes from so that people in Ohio and other areas will know more about what caused this problem.

Radon has been around for centuries. It comes from the decay of uranium and is a naturally occurring gas. Environmentally speaking, radon is found in higher levels in some areas than others, so certain geographical locations will contain higher risks of exposure to this gas. Radon can be found in structures like homes, schools and others and has to be professionally eradicated in order to make the atmosphere in those buildings safe once again.

The company states in their new blog post that when radon reaches the air, it is diluted to lower levels. Unfortunately, it is not always released into the air. It is sometimes trapped beneath foundations and slabs of buildings and these will continually release radon gas that can enter into those buildings through cracks in the foundation.

Those who are exposed to radon face a number of health risks. This known carcinogen has been estimated to be the second leading cause of lung cancer in patients in the United States. It rates second only to smoking and according to the EPA, it causes more deaths every year than drunk driving.

Mims says that from these statistics, one can see that radon has become a massive issue in the United States. The company says that their latest blog post is designed to provide more information so that consumers can better understand where this gas comes from and why it needs to be avoided.

Radon Eliminator says that the first step in fighting against radon exposure is to have a radon test performed. Radon is undetectable by sight, smell or taste so the only way to find it in a home or building is through testing. The company states that there are radon mitigation systems that are designed specifically to reduce the concentration levels of radon inside a home or structure. If radon is detected after testing, the company says that a system will be recommended in order to eliminate the radon in the home and make it safe. Mims states that the only way to properly eliminate radon in a home, office or other structure is to hire a professional to do the job. He says that consumers without any knowledge of the gas or without the appropriate equipment will not be able to rid their homes of this dangerous gas.

Radon Eliminator provides radon testing services and free mitigation estimates for those who believe that they may have radon in their homes. The company states that even those who are not sure should contact them for testing to keep their families safe. Radon Eliminator provides services in various locations throughout Ohio.
