Radon hides in your basement

Some of you know we covered this in previous post but here it is in the news again. This time about a man checking his home in Rhode Island for radon gas and being very shocked when the Inspectors report said he had it and needed to correct it immediately.

Nationwide, one of every fifteen homes has this radioactive gas problem. Especially in some areas such as New England. Many people have lung cancer because of it. And some of them never smoked. But its double trouble for those that smoke.

Can you picture over 20,000 lung cases from Radon per year?

Radon gas cannot be seen or smelled so its a very sneaky enemy lurking in many basements. You can go to Home Depot, etc, and purchase a Radon detector kit for $25 or so. Do it now while you are thinking of it. This is a serious problem most people are not even aware of.
