There has been a lot of news in recent days about the new security measures in airports following the incident onboard Northwest Airlines flight 253. This has led to concerns in the public about potential health effects, but is there any reason to be concerned about radiation exposure?
As Canadians, we all want the cleanest, safest, most secure home environment to live in and raise our families. One way to do this is to monitor our homes for the quality of the air we breathe. Radon gas is not something we hear about every day in Canada however, radon exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer – second only to smoking.
As winter weather approaches and we move activities indoors, it’s a good time to think about the quality of the air in our homes. Radon is a colourless, odourless gas that is produced from the natural breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil.
For most of the homeowners and would-be do-it-yourself-ers attending the 2009 Fall Home Show in Toronto, the issue of radon in the home came as something of a revelation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has drastically cut the maximum amount of radon, a naturally occurring gas, that should be permitted in homes because of strong evidence it causes lung cancer.
