Do You Have an Issue With Radon in Your Connecticut Home?

Radon, you can't see it, you can’t smell it, you cant’ taste it, but it may be a problem in your home. Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause significant health risks.

There are two main sources for the radon in your home's indoor air, the soil and the water supply.   The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website www.epa.gov/radon has answers all your Radon questions.

The  EPA recommends to test your home for radon and fix your home if you find high levels of radon (4 picocuries per liter or higher)

The EPA’s site is an excellent source for your clients to learn about Radon in their home. More specifically the link http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/citguide.html gives you the Guide to Protecting Yourself and Your Family from Radon. This site gives an overview, Q & A, Radon Myths and Facts and phone numbers for further reference.

Another great site is the CT Department of Public Heath (CT DPH) where you will find the CT DPH Radon Program whose mission is to promote radon awareness, testing, and mitigation to reduce radon health risks. To view it, click here.

Hi,

Newest reader/follower here.

I am in Texas, but Radon is a concern here as well. Great idea in reminding others of the dangers of it.

Wonderful post!

Many thanks!
