20 Years after Radon Abatement Act, Exposure Getting Worse June 14, 2008

Can Radon Put You at Risk for Brain Cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and Parkinson's Disease? September 12, 2007

"Radon - A Physician's Guide: The Health Threat With A Simple Solution"
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air and Radiation (6609J) EPA Document #402-K-93-008 September 1993
This booklet on radon has been developed for physicians by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in consultation with the American Medical Association (AMA). Its purpose is to enlist physicians in the national effort to inform the American public about the serious health risk posed by indoor radon gas.

Lung cancer's very high associated mortality rate is even more tragic because a significant portion of lung cancer is preventable. While smoking remains the number one cause of lung cancer, radon presents a significant second risk factor. That is why, in addition to encouraging patients to stop smoking, it is important for physicians to inquire about and encourage patients to test for radon levels in their homes. One way to do this is for physicians to join those health care professionals and organizations who have begun to include questions about the radon level in patients' homes on standardized patient history forms.
Because the public views physicians as advisors on health and prevention of disease, physicians are in a unique position to play a vital role in informing the public about the common and serious risk of radon, and in educating their patients in testing procedures and remediation methods for correcting elevated indoor radon levels, thereby helping to reduce the number of lung cancer deaths.

Many homes built on crawl space foundations in the Southeastern United States suffer from poor moisture management. Some of the common symptoms of a crawl space moisture problem are:
» Mold or moisture damage.
» Musty odors in the living area.
» Condensation ("sweating") on air conditioning ductwork or equipment.
» Condensation on insulation, pipes, truss plates.
» Buckled hardwood floors.

The Federal Building in downtown Youngstown, Ohio, features an extensive use of natural light to illuminate offices and a white roof to reflect heat.
It has LEED certification, the country’s most recognized seal of approval for green buildings.
But the building is hardly a model of energy efficiency. According to an environmental assessment last year, it did not score high enough to qualify for the Energy Star label granted by the Environmental Protection Agency, which ranks buildings after looking at a year’s worth of utility bills.

United Nations Group Says Evidence Linking Radon to Lung Cancer Exists

There is mounting direct evidence to confirm a small but detectable risk of lung cancer from living with radon in the home, says the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR).
