November is Radon Action Month
All Alberta homes and buildings have radon. What levels are you and your family being exposed to?
How Much Radon are You Being Exposed To?
It's difficult to know without testing.
Radon is a radioactive gas that is produced naturally by the breakdown of uranium in the ground. Since radon can’t be seen, smelled, or tasted, it can get into your home undetected.
In outdoor air, radon is diluted and therefore not a concern, but in confined spaces like your house, radon can build up to high levels and become a health risk.
Why Test for Radon?
Lung Cancer Risk
Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smoking Canadians. Your risk of cancer depends on the level of radon and the length of time you are exposed to it.
Kids & Pets
Radon gas affects children and pets more severely than adults, as their higher breathing rates make them more susceptible to its harmful effects.
Easy & Affordable
Testing for radon is simple, inexpensive and can have a positive impact on your family's long-term health outcome. You can start the process right now by requesting a test kit.
