Exposure to Radon in Various Ways
Radon is a colorless and odorless radioactive gas. Small amounts of radon can be released through water, but it’s mostly found in soil. Are you currently buying a new home or thinking of remodeling in order to rent your home out? Think twice before spending thousands of dollars on luxury granite tops. Some forms of countertops can expose people to certain levels of radon. Is your drinking water source from a well? When was the last time you had a well water inspection? A radon detection dayton ohio is a great idea when living on a new property. Remember, being exposed to radon outdoors is not a serious risk. The risk from radon exposure is when that radioactive gas is trapped indoors.
