Lung Cancer Caused by Radon?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 21, 2011
Chatham, ON –
Health Canada says that radon exposure and the resulting lung cancer kill more than 20,000 people each year. The good news is that radon is easy and affordable to detect and, if radon is found in a home, it is easy and affordable to eliminate.
Advanced Basement Systems works with Health Canada to help homeowners reduce their risk of radon exposure. A simple test can determine if the radioactive gas is seeping through the soil and into your home via the cracks in your foundation, wall, crawl space, sump pump or well. If your home has more than Health Canada’s recommended 200 Becquerels of radon per cubic metre of air, Advanced Basement Systems’ experts know how to vent your home of radon with an affordable and aesthetically-pleasing radon mitigation system.
The simple act of testing your home and, if necessary, installing a radon mitigation system can save you and your family from radon exposure and will help reduce your risk of developing lung cancer.
