RADON IN THE AIR AND WATER... WHAT ABOUT THE PETS?

There are two main sources for the radon in your home's indoor air, the soil and the water supply. Compared to radon entering the home through water, radon entering your home through the soil is usually a much larger risk.

Radon in the Air and Water

The radon in your water supply poses an inhalation risk and an ingestion risk. Research has shown that your risk of lung cancer from breathing radon in air is much larger than your risk of stomach cancer from swallowing water with radon in it. Most of your risk from radon in water comes from radon released into the air when water is used for showering and other household purposes.

Cancer and Radon

CANCER AND RADON

Studies on the carcinogenicity of radon

Radon's primary hazard arises from inhalation of the gas and its highly radioactive heavy metallic decay products (Polonium, Lead, and Bismuth) which tend to collect on dust in the air. The problem arises when these elements stick to the delicate cells lining the passageways leading into the lungs. For more information, www.mallonconstructionandradon.com

Buying A Home?

Today many homes are built to prevent radon from coming in. Building codes in your state or local area may require these radon-resistant construction features. If you are buying or renting a new home, ask the owner or builder if it has radon-resistant features. The EPA recommends building new homes with radon-resistant features in high radon potential areas. Even if built radon-resistant, every new home should be tested for radon after occupancy.

How does radon get into our homes?

Radon gas can enter even through small cracks in the foundation or openings in the foundation of homes like sump pumps or spaces around pipes. For some individuals with wells, radon in the well water can enter the home and become airborne during showering or dish-washing. The amount of radon from groundwater is generally small compared to the amount of radon that comes from the soil.
