  Radon is colorless, odorless, and also tasteless. It is the natural phenomenon that comes with uranium decay in soil, rock, and water. For its invisibility, a person would tend to think of it as harmless. Its occurrence is among the leading causes of lung cancer after smoking. Consequently, it is a silent threat that needs attention. In this regard, the answer lies in the Mitigation System for Radon .   Radon: A Silent Hazard   Radon seeps into buildings through fractures of foundations, walls, and openings of all kinds. Moving inside, it can amass to dangerous levels when a place is not all that well ventilated and confined, such as that which finds its way into one's basement. Long-term exposure to radon increases the danger for serious health issues: most notably lung cancer. Now's where the slogan, " Radon be gone ", gets more than just literal thinking.   Role of Radon Mitigation Systems The implementation of a Mitigation System for Radon aims to re...

Radon Mitigation System; why is it Crucial?

High concentration of Radon is particularly dangerous after the prolonged exposure through inhalation; unfortunately it significantly increases the risk of lung cancer. Radon Mitigation and Testing is used to reduce radon concentration in buildings. The goal of the mitigation system reduces indoor radon level and it is reasonably achievable. A quality radon mitigation should reduce year-round levels to below 2 pCi/L. Essentially, a licensed Radon Mitigation Professional should determine the type of mitigation and help you to guide where to place the mitigation system. Radon mitigation uses a fan to consistently pull the air and vent the outdoor through pipe that ends above the roof. Are You At The Risk For Radon Poisoning? Radon can accumulate in places where ventilation is done adequately. Long-term exposure increases the change of lung disease that can cause coughing and difficulty in breathing. Unfortunately, long-term exposure to radon could be dangerous to your...
