Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that can seep into homes and buildings, posing a significant threat to the health and well-being of occupants. Prolonged exposure to radon has been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, making it essential to address this issue promptly. Fortunately, Pro-Tech Radon Services offers effective radon removal solutions, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for families and communities.
The Importance of Radon Removal
Radon is a silent killer, often going undetected until it's too late. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths annually in the United States. This highlights the urgent need for radon testing and removal services. By identifying and mitigating radon sources, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of developing lung cancer.
How Radon Enters Homes and Buildings
Radon can enter homes and buildings through various pathways, including:
- Soil and groundwater: Radon can seep into buildings through cracks and crevices in the foundation, walls, and floors.
- Building materials: Certain building materials, such as granite and concrete, can contain radon-emitting elements.
- Water supply: Radon can be present in well water and municipal water supplies.
