Cancer is a devastating diagnosis for any family to receive. Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer. Knowing that radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, claiming 21,000 American lives each year, it's important to do our part in protecting our community by testing for and mitigating radon gas in our buildings. High #radon levels can't be detected by human senses alone. Protecting occupants begins with proactive radon awareness and testing. #LungCancer prevention includes radon reduction in the places we live, work, and learn. We are your professional and qualified commercial radon testing and mitigation partners. Learn more about what the White House is saying about #CancerPrevention in America ➡️ https://bit.ly/3UFH38g

Her story could be anyone's story. Protecting occupants from #radon is an important step in keeping them safe from common, but deadly, gas in your buildings. Radon exists at dangerous levels indoors in every state and is estimated to take 21,000 American lives each year due to radon-induced #lungcancer. Make sure to test and mitigate where your occupants live, work, and learn! https://bit.ly/4bc3nMs

Have you seen these #radon survey results yet? “Anyone with lungs can develop lung cancer, and as a community we should be aware and concerned about radon exposure because it's thought to be one of the leading causes of lung cancer in never-smokers – and there is something we can do to reduce our risk,” said David Carbone, MD, PhD, a thoracic medical oncologist and director of the OSUCCC – James Thoracic Oncology Center. Ensuring your occupants are breathing safe air in your buildings is crucial. The first step is to test for radon! #IndoorAirQuality #RadonGas #SurveyResults #LungCancerAwareness #LungCancer #NewConstruction #DevelopmentProject #PropertyManager https://bit.ly/4cVCbD3

Although our planet is beautiful and powerful, it can also produce potential dangers such as radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas. Radon comes from the breakdown of Uranium in the soil, and can build up to unsafe levels indoors. Indoor radon levels can vary depending on several factors such as geological and seasonal changes. This means that conditions such as seismic activity, storms, and heavy snowfall can influence how much of this gas gets into our homes, and even into our lungs. Our heart is to educate the public on the dangers of #radon exposure, which has been found at elevated levels in homes and workplaces all over the world! Preventing exposure to radon can ultimately save lives against radon-induced #lungcancer by creating more healthy living and working environments in our communities across the globe. Happy #EarthDay! 🌎

"Carbone noted that having high levels of radon exposure at school or work is just as much a health hazard as having high-level exposure in your basement." Radon is the leading cause of #lungcancer among non-smokers, and if you haven't had your indoor air tested, your occupants could be at risk. Make sure the occupants of your buildings - #schools, #multifamilyhousing, #workplaces, etc. are safe from cancer-causing #radon gas indoors. https://bit.ly/3JjQR1l
