RADON

• Radon is a radioactive gas found naturally in rocks and soil
• It has no odor, color, smell or taste to it
• The only way to know it’s there is to test for it

• The radon gas dissolves into your water.
• As you use your water to shower, for example, the gas is then released into the air.
• For every 10,000 pCi/L of radon in your water, one pCi/L is added to your air.

Per the CT Department of Public Health:

• Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers
• If you smoke, the risk for lung cancer increases dramatically
• There’s a small risk of stomach cancer if you drink water with radon

Depending on the level, either with a Carbon System, which we install, or an Bubble-Up System which we recommend a Radon Mitigation company to install.
