Radon Gas - What is it?

Radon gas occurs naturally. You can't taste, smell, or see radon in the air. It forms when uranium from rocks, soil, and water break down to radium which in turn breaks down to radon. As radon decays, it releases radio active byproducts that can build up to dangerous levels inside homes and other buildings, and when inhaled, can cause lung cancer. Radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year, according to the EPA's 2003 Assessment of Risks from Radon in Homes study.

What is Your Exposure Risk?

Your radon risk will depend on:
•The levels of radon in your indoor environments.
•The amount of time you spend in those environments.
•Whether or not you are a smoker.
Radon exposure in cigarette smokers is particularly dangerous, because radon breakdown elements attach to the particles in cigarette smoke and lodge in the lungs. The combination of the two carcinogens creates a much greater risk for lung cancer than either factor by itself.

Sources of Radon Exposure
You and your family are exposed to radon in your home and every structure you enter. Radon in the outside air disperses before it reaches high levels of concentration, but in tightly sealed or poorly ventilated indoor spaces, even low levels of radon can accumulate and pose a significant health problem. Since radon levels are highest in rooms closest to the ground, if you spend a lot of time in your basement rooms, your risk for exposure could be greater.

Reducing Radon Levels
It is estimated that one in fifteen homes in the United States has a radon level at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Eastern South Dakota has a predicted average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L.
