Construction Carpenter

We are a professional business which is dedicated to the highest standard of excellence and ethical performance of radon measurement, mitigation, and the transfer of information to its customers and the general public.

What is Radon?

Radon is a naturally-occuring cancer-causing radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste.  Radon comes from the decay of radium in the soil, which is a decay product of uranium.  Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family’s health.

Why is radon harmful?

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and claims about 20,000 lives annually.  If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.

When radon and its decay products are inhaled into your lungs, they emit alpha particles. These alpha particles can strike the sensitive lining of the bronchi. When this happens, the cells in your lungs are damaged, subsequently increasing your risk to radon-related cancer.  Most alpha particle radiation comes from radon decay products.  However, because it is easier to measure radon rather than its decay products, people usually characterize the exposure by the amount of radon in their living spaces.
