Surgeon General Releases National Health Advisory On Radon
U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona warned the American public about the
risks of breathing indoor radon by issuing a national health advisory today.
The advisory is meant to urge Americans to prevent this silent radioactive
gas from seeping into their homes and building up to dangerous levels. Dr.
Carmona issued the advisory during a two-day Surgeon General's Workshop on
Healthy Indoor Environment.
"Indoor radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United
States and breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant
health risk to families all over the county," Dr. Carmona said. "It's
important to know that this threat is completely preventable. Radon can be
detected with a simple test and fixed through well-established venting
techniques."
Radon is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas, with no immediate health
symptoms, that comes from the breakdown of uranium inside the earth.
Continuous radon monitors measure amount of radon in any building. Those
with high levels can be fixed with simple and affordable venting techniques.
According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates, one in
every 15 homes nationwide have a high radon level at or above the
recommended radon action level of 4 picoCuries (pCi/L) per liter of air.
