SIX INFLUENCERS TO RADON TESTING

Radioactive radon gas exposure is the leading environmental cause of cancer mortality; yet very few people are protecting themselves from this silent killer. With an estimated 21,000 U.S. deaths each year from radon-induced lung cancer, a person must question: “Why aren’t our citizens protecting themselves from this tragedy?” The answer is simple; people don’t know about radon; they can’t see radon, taste it, or smell it. Yet, it has been found in every state in our union in high levels. So the next logical question is “What makes people test for radon.” The six influencers in radon testing are: home inspections, word of mouth, legislation, media, medical advice and lung cancer diagnosis—not necessarily in that order.

Amy Kleptach of TK Home Inspections says, “I always suggest a radon test, and I ask who will be doing your radon test for you.” She takes the time to explain the importance of testing for this radioactive gas and explains the danger of exposure and the increased chance of lung cancer due to the DNA damage to the cells in and around the lungs. Amy says, “This radioactive gas can linger in your home, and it’s like your house is smoking for you!” “Facts tell, stories sell” according to Amy.
