Natural granite's beauty lies in its vast array of colors and patterns, created from the presence of elements and minerals in the rock. 

Most people think that they are aware of everything that could be harming them in their homes.

Do you know if you need to install a radon mitigation system? 

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas you can't see, feel taste, or smell.

Radon is an invisible gas formed in the Earth's crust. It surrounds every one of us as part of the air we breathe.

The rocks and soil beneath our homes contain traces of uranium. Over time, the uranium breaks down and forms other elements. This is called radioactive decay. Radon is one link in the decay chain of uranium.

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. If considered as a separate disease, lung cancer in people who have never smoked would rank seventh in global cancer mortality.

Approximately 21,000 people die from radon-related lung cancer every year in the United States alone.

All the while, some people still think radon poisoning is nothing but "hype," and it's nothing we need to worry about.

In the article below, we will go over ten myths about radon that have been busted by the EPA.

Did you know that lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer in adults in the United States? 

It is also the leading cause of death from cancer.

Treatment for lung cancer is much more effective when the disease is caught in its earlier stages. 

Unfortunately, though, most people with lung cancer do not experience symptoms until the disease has spread.

Some people do experience subtle symptoms of early-stage lung cancer, but these symptoms more often stem from other health issues or factors such as smoking.

Most people know that smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States.

Many people have no idea that the second leading cause of lung cancer is due to exposure to radon gas. 

Long term exposure to elevated levels of radon gas in your home will put you and your family at risk for lung cancer.
