Radon in Pittsburgh: A Health Hazard in Pennsylvania with a Simple Solution!

Pennsylvania has a serious radon problem. There are an estimated 860 - 3,800 lung cancer deaths per year in Pennsylvania due to residential radon exposure. An estimated 40% of Pennsylvania homes have radon levels above EPA’s action guideline of 4 pCi/l.

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family’s health. Radon, nationwide (and in the Pittsburgh area), is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims about 20,000 lives annually. The only way to know if your home has a high Radon Gas level, is to get a test.

If your home has an elevated level of Radon, there is a solution! Fixing a home with a high radon level is typically referred to as “radon mitigation”.

Radon mitigation is any activity taken, and any materials or equipment installed, to reduce the levels of radon gas in a building. Radon gas can enter a home or building through cracks in the basement floor and walls, drains, sumps and drain tiles, crawl spaces, porous blocks and exposed soil. The air pressure in a building is generally lower than the pressure in soil, thereby allowing for radon to flow into the structure.

Radon reduction techniques may consist of measures to prevent the entry of radon gas into a building, as well as venting of radon gas before it enters a building.
