On behalf of my husband and many friends,
Gloria Linnertz, VP Cancer Survivors Against Radon
Many of us are not longer present in physical form but no doubt we are here in spirit and represent the thousands of people from every state who die each year from radon-induced lung cancer. We comprise an organization of people who didn't know they were living with elevated levels of radon until the diagnosis of lung cancer invaded out lives and souls.
We urge you to consider sponsoring legislative bills that will help our citizens realize that they may be living with this silent killer, but that it is easy to test and fix if the level is elevated. For some of us, this life-saving measure is too late, but others of us are fighting each day to make a difference so no one else lives, works,or is schooled in environments with radioactive radon gas.
Please contact us for any questions you may have about Radon Gas or to purchase your test kit! www.mallonconstructionandradon.com

Radon News!
Radon News!
Outside air contains very low levels of radon, but it becomes a problem when it accumulates in homes by seeping through cracks, sump-pump pits and other openings. The gas produces radioactive decay particles that can damage the cells that line the lung and lead to lung cancer. Scientifically rigorous epidemiology studies in North america and Europe have clearly established the link between radon exposure in the home and lung cancer. It is the leading environmental cause of cancer mortality in the United States and is expected to be the seventh leading cause of cancer death overall this year.

Mysterious happening!
The Mallon Construction crew at the International 2013 Radon Symposium in Springville Illinois. Besides taking classes on the latest technology in Radon Mitigation, we took a tour of Lincoln's Tomb. While standing at the tomb something very unusual happened. A Hawk flew up and landed on a branch next to us and sat there watching us the whole time while our guide was speaking about Lincolns ghost appearing on the premises... OHHHHHH!

Reducing Radon Levels
Mitigation involves repairing or altering a building or building design for the purpose of reducing the concentration of radon in the indoor atmosphere.
Exact system design will vary from house to house dependent upon foundation type and building materials however most will consist of PVC pipe suction points attached to a fan pulling air from under the slab foundation or membrane and disposing of it above the highest eve of the roof. This system depressurizes the house in comparison to the outside environment, reducing the levels of soil gas (and radon) being drawn into the house.
