The Facts

Radon is listed as a class-one carcinogen, a proven cancer-causing agent.
The EPA claims Radon is responsible for 21,000 verifiable lung cancer deaths per year (Because most cancer victims don't always research the source. It is estimated the actual deaths per year caused by Radon is over 200,000).
It is widely agreed that Radon is the second leading cause for lung cancer, with cigarette smoking taking first.
Children are at the highest risk for lung damage caused by Radon.
Nearly one out of every 15 homes has a radon level EPA considers to be elevated - 4 pCi/L or greater.
The EPA estimates that 6 to 8 million homes exceed the radon "action limit" of 4 pCi/L.
According to the EPA, if 1,000 people who smoked were exposed to 4 pCi/l of Radon over a lifetime, 29 of those people could get lung cancer. This is 100 times the risk of dying in a plane crash.
Radon is found in every state in America.
Radon usually enters the home from the ground, but can also be found in well water.
A simple test can alert you to the dangers (Do you care... Do you want to know ?).
If you have excessive Radon, it can be easily and inexpensively removed (Why risk it ?).
