Getting a healthy home starts with the right indoor air quality. If you\u2019re trying to keep you and your family members safe, one of the things you should pay attention to is the presence of radon in your home. Getting your home tested for the presence of radon can protect you and your family members from potential cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>, exposure to radon has been linked to deaths by lung cancer and it\u2019s the leading cause of lung cancer in individuals who don\u2019t smoke. Because of this, it\u2019s worthwhile to prevent it and protect yourself against it. This is when our professionals step in with their expertise in radon mitigation in Butler County, PA<\/a>. Although this is a real threat to homeowners in our area, it\u2019s a new concept to many. Today, we\u2019re going to give you the rundown. Let\u2019s get into everything you need to know below\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Is Radon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Radon is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. It can seep into your home and if you breathe it in over a long period of time, it can cause health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many are surprised to find that radon is naturally occurring. Radon gas forms naturally when radioactive metal (typically radium, thorium, or uranium) breaks down in rocks, soil, or groundwater. If this happens indoors or near your home, radon gas can come through your foundation and get trapped within the confines of your living space. This is how individuals end up breathing in radon for such long periods of time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
