Important Information About Radon for Home Buyers and Sellers
January was declared National Radon Action Month by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can enter the home through cracks in the foundation or from the crawl space under the home. It is a serious issue: Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Every year approximately 21,000 people die from lung cancer caused by radon.
In support of the EPA’s National Radon Action Month, I am posting a series of articles on the subject. In my last article, I talked about radon mitigation. For this article, I am posting a very informative video on the subject produced by the EPA. The information provided will help remove some of the mystery.
Testing is easy and low-cost. And if mitigation is required, it is also cost-effective in contract to the potential health risks. For additional information, you can download a copy of the Home Buyer’s and Seller’s Guide to Radon. In my next post, I’ll cover some additional radon information resources.

We have high levels of Radon here in the beautiful Methow Valley and that is why you no longer find any basements in that part of our valley. Great blog, very informative yet easy to pick up.
