Radon Testing

 Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that decays from uranium and radium found in the soil.When radon decays, it releases ionizing radiation which can damage lungs and tissues increasing the risk of lung cancer. The decay products of radon are well established carcinogens (cancer causing). In fact, it is estimated that radon causes approx 21,000 deaths in the United States per year and the IDPH estimates 400 alone are in Iowa.  It is a colorless and odorless gas, so there is no way to tell if your home has high radon levels unless you test.
