The problem occurs when radon gas enters your home and gets trapped. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can cause lung cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that lung cancer caused by radon exposure kills about 21,000 Americans every year. (This may be how this woman got lung cancer at 31-years-old—without ever smoking a cigarette.)
High levels recently tested in Seattle, Kirkland, and Issaquah this year. Realtors are telling buyers Washington State does not have Radon, well guess what we indeed do and Testing is HIGHLY recommended by the EPA. Testing takes only 48hrs within a closed condition home.
Radon Is a Cancer‑Causing, Radioactive Gas You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high risk.
