November is Radon Action Month and the Home Inspectors Association of BC is encouraging homeowners to test their homes for radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. The risk of developing lung cancer from radon exposure depends mostly on three factors: the level of radon you are exposed to, the duration of exposure and smoking habits. Smoking or radon exposure can increase the risk of lung cancer; exposure to both greatly enhances that risk. Rado...n is a colourless, odourless, tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in the environment. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soils and rocks. When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. When radon is released in enclosed areas such as homes, it can accumulate to high levels and can cause a health risk with long-term exposure. Radon can enter homes through cracks in foundations, construction joints, gaps around pipes, sump pumps and drains, and exposed rock in basements, etc. Some radon will be found in everyone’s home. The health risk increases as the level of radon and the duration of exposure increases. Health Canada recommends that radon levels do not exceed 200 Becquerels per cubic metre (200 Bq/m3). http://www.bccdc.ca//Radon%20in%20Homes%20Test%20Protocol% http://www.bccdc.ca//Guidelines%20and%20Manuals/EH/RPS/Rad
