   Extractions: We realize most people find it difficult to understand radon; a colorless, odorless, inert radioactive gas. You cannot see it, smell it, or feel it; yet we cannot completely avoid breathing radon. There is about 0.35 pCi/L of radon in the outside air we breathe. Understanding the risks associated with radiation exposure is even more perplexing. I hope reading this article, will enable you to make an informed decision about the radon levels measured in your house. TABLE OF CONTENTS Section 1. WHERE DOES RADON COME FROM? Radon comes from the natural radioactive decay of radium and uranium found in the soil beneath the house. The amount of radon in the soil depends on complex soil chemistry, that varies from one house to the next. Radon levels in the soil range from a few hundred to several thousands of pCi/L. The amount of radon that escapes from the soil to enter the house depends on the weather, soil porosity, soil moisture, and the suction within the house. 2. HOW DOES RADON GET INTO THE HOUSE?

   Extractions: Welcome to the Radon Project at Columbia University. This website was created by Prof. Andrew Gelman at Columbia University and Dr. Phillip N. Price at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to assist U.S. homeowners in deciding whether they have serious radon problems and, if so, what to do. Scroll down to see the U.S. radon map. Radon is a radioactive gas that can enter your house from the ground. When breathed, it can cause lung cancer. If you own a house, you might want to measure your house for radon and possibly reduce the level of radon in your house through remediation More on radon and why we care about it Based on the information you provide, this website will estimate: the radon level in your house; the expected risk from lung cancer from the radon in your house; a recommendation as to whether you should remediate your house immediately, take a year-long radon measurement (and then use that information to decide whether to remediate take a short-term radon measurement (and then use that information to decide whether to remediate ), or

Skønt vi kan trøste os med, at radonniveauet i vores huse generelt er lavere end i andre lande, regner de danske myndigheder ikke desto mindre med, at 300 danskere hvert år får lungekræft på grund af radon." Undersøgelser lavet af Sundhedsstyrelsen viser at hver tyvende danske bolig indeholder for meget radon.

    Extractions: General Questions General Questions What is radon? Radon is a radioactive gas. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and chemically inert. Unless you test for it, there is no way of telling how much is present. Radon is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Naturally existing, low levels of uranium occur widely in Earth's crust. It can be found in all 50 states. Once produced, radon moves through the ground to the air above. Some remains below the surface and dissolves in water that collects and flows under the ground's surface. Radon has a half-life of about four days - half of a given quantity of it breaks down every four days. When radon undergoes radioactive decay, it emits ionizing radiation in the form of alpha particles. It also produces short-lived decay products, often called progeny or daughters, some of which are also radioactive. Unlike radon, the progeny are not gases and can easily attach to dust and other particles. Those particles can be transported by air and can also be breathed.

Our students not only walk out from one our classes knowing that he or she has received a quality class, but the students know that they know all the protocols, standards, and requirements that are expected from them as radon professionals. We have a very high pass rate on our exams for both radon measurement and radon mitigation. We ask that each individual that wants to meet the challenge of radon measurement or mitigation to take one of our certification classes. These classes are not easy nor are they expected to be easy rather they are both challenging and rewarding. Our certification classes meet the National Environmental Health Association's National Radon Proficiency Program criteria and standards.

    Extractions: May 25, 2000 THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Iowa City, Iowa 52242 IOWA CITY, Iowa Long-term exposure to radon in the home is associated with lung cancer risk and presents a significant environmental health hazard, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Iowa College of Public Health. The Iowa Radon Lung Cancer Study, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, included investigators from the UI, St. John's University in Collegeville, Minn. and the University of Kansas. The results are published in the June 1 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology. From 1993 to 1997, the researchers studied 1,027 Iowa women 413 who were newly diagnosed with lung cancer and 614 "controls" ages 40 to 84 who had lived in their homes for the past 20 years or more. The women studied in both groups included smokers as well as nonsmokers. Women were studied because they typically have less occupational exposures to substances that may cause lung cancer, and historically have spent more time in the home. The researchers found that close to 60 percent of the basement radon concentrations for both the lung cancer cases (study participants with lung cancer) and the control group (participants without lung cancer) exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency action level for radon of 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L). The researchers found that 33 percent of living areas for the lung cancer cases, and 28 percent of the living areas for the control group, exceeded the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L.
