Info On Radon Gas For Homeowners Published By Radon Eliminator

Radon Eliminator, based in Uniontown, OH, has announced that they have published a blog post to provide information about radon gas in homes. Radon Eliminator is made up of a team of professionally certified radon mitigation specialists and they want to provide homeowners with basic information regarding radon gas. The blog post is titled "What Every Home Owner Should Know About Radon Gas" and was written by Radon Eliminator staff.

Radon Eliminator spokesperson Cedric Mims says, "With radon being the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, it's becoming more of a talked about topic, especially among homeowners. Even if you haven't heard of radon until now, it's been a part of your life, regardless of where you live. It's time you found out the effect it can have on you and your health. We have come up with some important facts that we believe every homeowner should know about radon gas."

The blog post explains that radon is a result of natural radioactive decay of uranium and it can be found in the soil and rocks underneath homes. Because of the way that homes in the U.S. are constructed and the ventilation systems that are being used, radon gas can find its way into homes through small cracks and openings in the sub-slab of the basement floor. Depending on where the home is located and the type of soil on which the house has been built on, it is possible for the home to have dangerous levels of radon gas. The problem is that while this radioactive gas is dangerous, it cannot be detected by human taste, smell or sight. Those interested can learn more now by checking on this page.

Unfortunately, it has been found that Ohio is one of those states that have high levels of radon gas. This is because of the Ohio Shale geologic formation, which means that it is enriched in uranium, with the second primary source of uranium in Ohio being the soil. Thus, the soil in Ohio contains substantial quantities of radium and uranium, which continuously break down and emit radon gas.

Cedric Mims says, "Don't let this discourage you, testing your home is easy, and it can be completed in as little as 48 hours. When you contact Radon Eliminator to test your home, we send a technician who is licensed with The Ohio Department of Health to come to your home and set up a continuous radon monitoring system to test the radon levels in your home. Your technician will return 48 hours later to collect the equipment and give you a reading of the concentration levels in your home for every hour that the machine was there."

If the results of the test is that the level of radon gas is 4.0 piC/L or higher, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that homeowners take action to decrease those levels in their home so as to decrease their chances of getting radon-induced lung cancer.
