January

Radon Action Month
Posted 22 January
2010
Radon is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that causes no immediate
health symptoms, but long-term exposures can cause lung cancer. It
comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil. Simple test kits can
reveal the amount of radon in any building. Buildings with high levels
can usually be fixed with simple and affordable venting techniques.
IDPH Radon program manager Rick Welke recommends testing all homes and
apartments in Iowa. “Testing is important,” said Welke. “It’s the only
way to know if a building has high levels of radon.”
Radon gas seeps into a house the same way air or other soil gases
enter: from the soil around and under the home; through cracks in the
foundation, floor or walls; through hollow-block walls; and through
openings around floor drains, pipes and sump pumps. Radon has been
detected in new and old homes, and in homes with or without basements.
Test kits are simple to use and typically cost less than $20. They can
be obtained by calling the Iowa AIR Coalition of Public Health
Officials at 800-206-7818. Licensed measurement and mitigation
specialists are listed at www.idph.state.ia.us/eh/radon.asp.
Additional information is available from the Radon Hotline at
800-383-5992. |
