You’ve read the continuous stream of stats we list: radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, it’s responsible for the deaths of more than 21,000 Americans each year and the EPA estimates that every one in fifteen homes has elevated radon levels. You’ve read our continuous stream of ways to combat the problem: radon testing yourself and professionally, radon mitigation, and radon awareness.

What you haven’t heard is something new, something fresh. Something like this.

An IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign was just launched for ARIA, the “world’s first radon and IAQ device.” We know what you’re thinking: what does that mean exactly?

Introducing ARIA, World’s First Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Device

IAQ stands for indoor air quality, and ARIA is an indoor air quality monitoring device which means it measures the amount of pollution found in your indoor air. It continuously – like our radon updates – monitors radon levels in a residence, carbon dioxide levels, indoor temperature and humidity levels and more. To put it bluntly, this thing is supposed to be the end-all, be-all monitor for indoor air pollution.

Once installed, you can be absolutely sure that your home will remain healthy for your family and yourself. Of course, before it can be purchased the device needs to be manufactured and mass produced – which is exactly why the developers have turned to IndieGoGo for funding support.

What is ARIA?

Developed by RSense – a company that specializes in the creation of professional radon-detection tools – the ARIA will sit on a shelf in your home and monitor pollution levels. One of the biggest benefits is that it monitors radon levels in real-time over an extended period. The information is then transmitted to a mobile app, which breaks down everything one would ever need to know. If there are dangerous levels of pollution or radon gas in your home, you’ll know soon enough.

Integrated LED lights allow ARIA to locally signal whether or not the indoor air quality is healthy. It can also be connected to smart-home tech like the NEST thermostat, or a radon mitigation and ventilation system – activating the vent fans when levels are too high.

Luca Bidinelli, the CEO of RSens, says that ARIA is extremely easy to use, even for the average consumer.

“Aria is as easy to use as a smoke detector and very accurate, so we are now potentially preventing thousands from getting lung cancer because of radon exposure. This deadly gas kills over six times more people than for or carbon monoxide every year. Aria uses proven technology and makes consumer home testing possible. If you had the chance to find out immediately whether your family was living in a radon-filled environment, wouldn’t you take it so that you could address the problem?”

How Can I Support ARIA?

If you’re interested you can help back the project over at the official IndieGoGo page.

The first Aria units will be available sometime in late 2015, and are estimated to cost about $249. Of course, early backers who purchase their device through the crowdfunding campaign will receive their units earlier than everyone else. There are also several different perk tiers and rewards depending on how much you are willing to pledge to the project.

This device is promising indeed, as the main goal is to make professional radon monitoring equipment affordable and accessible to consumers. Traditional radon testing takes quite a long time to setup, conduct and acquire the results. This device will allow consumers to instantly identify a problem.

Welcome folks to National Radon Action Week, which will be taking place from October 20th to October 26th! If you’re wondering what that means exactly or just what radon is, keep on reading! If you already know what it’s about you can skip on down a little further to see some recommended ways to spend the week.

What You Need to Know About National Radon Action Week

What is Radon?

Sunny of Morganville, NJ (age 11)

Radon is an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas – so it’s virtually indetectable – that occurs naturally. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has classified radon as a Class A carcinogen, which means that it is extremely harmful to humans and causes cancer. In fact, radon is responsible for more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. alone.

Since it’s a radioactive decay product of elements such as Uranium, and those elements commonly exist in soil and rock under the ground it’s possible for radon to be a problem anywhere, regardless of geographical location. There’s a common misconception that it’s only a problem in older structures and homes, but this isn’t true. While modern homes are generally built with radon resistant construction, there are ways radon can still seep in.

In short, that means the only way to discover whether or not radon is – or isn’t – a problem in your home is to specifically test for it. The good news is that you can purchase DIY testing kits for around $15-$30 at any local hardware store or online. Of course, you can also hire an experienced radon professional to test your home, as well.

What is National Radon Action Week, and Why Does It Exist?

Despite the fact that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. behind smoking, and the first in non-smokers, many people have no clue it’s even a problem. There are many stories of people being diagnosed with lung cancer, and finding out about radon after they’ve discovered a problem. Needless to say, this is horrible because lung cancer has one of the highest mortality rates out of any type of cancer. Patients don’t usually show symptoms until after the disease has progressed beyond a curable state, which means it’s very difficult to detect. In addition, radon increases the risk of lung cancer over an extended period of time, so long-term exposure is the biggest culprit. There are no short-term symptoms of radon poisoning.

This means two things: people generally only discover it’s a problem if they test their home, or if they are having health issues. If the latter detection method is used, it can be more than a little hazardous to one’s health.

With all this in mind, that’s why National Radon Action Week exists. Agencies such as the Department of Health, U.S. EPA and more are trying to build awareness about radon. Not only that, they’re trying to encourage homeowners, business owners and property managers of any kind to have their residence or building tested for radon. As you can see it’s not just about awareness, it’s about taking action to combat the issue.

National Radon Action Week Checklist

To help everyone prepare for the week, we’ve compiled a checklist of things you should try to do:

• Test your home, residence or building for radon. If you cannot test your home because you’re renting then encourage your landlord to do so. It’s inexpensive, and radon testing kits are always available.

If elevated levels are discovered:

• If elevated levels are discovered during your first short-term test (see: radon testing) perform another long-term test, obviously this will take longer than a week
• Contact a local radon professional or mitigation contractor to find out how to proceed with the installation of a mitigation system

Otherwise, do the following:

• Share this website, the U.S. EPA’s radon resources page, or any info related to radon to a friend, family member or colleague to help spread awareness
• Research the prevalance of radon in your area, and identify any other locations that need to be tested, such as your child’s school or daycare
• Send an email to local legislature requesting more attention be placed on radon and its associated dangers
• Test your water supply – if it’s well water – or your granite countertops for the presence of radon. Both of these should be extremely minimal in terms of radon exposure, but it’s still worth testing to be sure.

Everyone’s main goal during National Radon Action Week should be to take action, which means test your home for the presence of radon. It needs to be done.

Several classroms, offices and the gym were closed off at at an Illinois elementary school after dangerously high levels of the deadly gas radon were discovered. The school in question is the Pleasantdale elementary school in District 107.

Deadly Gas Radon Discovered at Pleasantdale, Illinois Elementary School

Initial tests were conducted for the deadly gas radon back in August (18-20), and while elevated levels were detected a more accurate average reading was necessary. Six rooms at the school were found to have levels exceeding the recommended limit as set by the U.S EPA, which is 4 pCi/L. The district has actually had the school tested regularly for the deadly gas radon, after elevated levels were discovered back in 2006 in two classrooms.

The testing results led the district to hire David Kedrowski, an environmental consultant. He made adjustments to the building’s heating, ventilation and AC system after analyzing the problem. Several short-term tests conducted on September 2nd to the 5th indicated that levels of the deadly gas radon in the building have been reduced, thanks to Kedrowski’s changes.

Elevated Levels of the Deadly Gas Radon Detected Again

Oddly enough, recent long-term tests conducted from September 22nd to October 6th again showed elevated levels in the building including in the gym, eight classrooms and six offices. The highest level of the deadly gas radon was recorded at 34.8 pCi/L, which is more than eight times the recommended action limit.

District superintendant Mark Fredisdorf said, “We’re kind of surprised that there were elevated levels again,”

“We did find out that we had units that were inadvertently turned off during testing, which led to some higher levels being detected, but we are staring testing Friday that will be continuous so that we measure on an ongoing basis and get a more accurate measure now.”

The areas with the high levels of the deadly gas radon have since been evacuated, and will continue to remain unused until the problem is corrected.

“We’ve been told that exposure over a long period is associated with lung cancer and that there are no immediate health risks here,” Fredisdorf said.

Take Action Against the Deadly Gas Radon

It is indeed true that long-term exposure poses the biggest threat, yet it is still ideal to take action as soon as possible to remedy an issue. It should be noted that you cannot take proper action until you have tested the residence or building in question. In the school’s case, it’s honorable that they continued to test the location. One should take example and follow suit with their own home, business or school.

Since the findings, the Pleasantdale school district has held two meetings with parents in order to update them on the current situation. In addition, those interested can follow updates on the school district’s official website.

Washington state residents might be interested to know about the details of a study conducted by the State Department of Health that outlines the levels of radon in the state. Residents – and interested parties – can pay a visit to the site and take a look at what areas of the state have a high, medium and low radon risk. It turns out some of the areas with the highest risk are the most populated including King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. The area with the highest risk, of course is the Cascades.

Department of Health’s Washington State Radon Risk Map

This information was actually published back in January, 2014 so those who are looking now are a little late to the party. That’s okay, because this news comes at the opportune time – National Radon Action Week is October 20th – 26th.

On the site, you can filter the radon risk by study results. For instance, you can see the radon risk based on the local geology, previously reported indoor testing results, and even state lung cancer rates. Long story short, it provides a wealth of information on the local radon risk in your area.

Radon is a virtually indetectable gas, because it’s odorless, colorless and tasteless. There is no way to identify its presence other than to test specifically for it. Luckily, you can purchase a DIY home testing kit for about $15-$30. You can also hire an experienced radon professional to test your home for you.

Radon Risk May Be High In Your Area

Radon is a naturally occuring gas, that is released as a decay product of trace elements in soil and rock such as Uranium. Once released into the air it continues to decay, giving off particles that are known as radon daughters. If these particles are inhaled, they stick to the inner linings of the lungs and continue to decay and expose the body to radiation. Eventually, this results in lung cancer – a form of the disease that has one of the highest mortality rates.

That’s exactly why we recommend you have your home tested for radon, or do it yourself. There are considerable health effects from being exposed to radon over a long period of time. Worse yet, there are no symptoms – and lung cancer symptoms don’t generally start to show until after the disease has progressed beyond a curable state.

A Radon Risk Always Exists No Matter Where You Live

We’d advise all Washington state residents to take a look at the collected information and determine whether or not they are in a high risk area. To be honest, everyone should have their home tested even those living in a low risk area. Radon can exist anywhere regardless of geographical location, and even though you may be in a low risk area – it’s still possible for the deadly gas to collect in your home.

National Radon Action Week is coming up from Oct 20th to Oct 26th. In light of that, we figured it would be a great time to share a couple DIY radon tools you can use in your home. The only way to discover whether or not radon gas is a problem in your home is to test specifically for it. It’s virtually indetectable due to the fact that it’s odorless, colorless and tasteless. You may very well be living in a contaminated environment, exposed to levels dozens of times higher than the national average.

Since radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer – the first in non-smokers – it makes a lot of sense that you should whatever you possibly can to mitigate it. Today, we’re going to point out some pretty useful DIY radon tools you can use to monitor or test levels of the deadly gas in your home.

DIY Radon Tools: Corentium Digital Radon Monitor

Similar to a smoke detector or a carbon monoxide detector, the Corentium Digital Radon Monitor will continuously measure the levels of radon in your home. It will provide a detailed readout of the average radon levels over a one, and seven day period. It will also give an accumulative readout for the current year.

It’s battery powered which means you can place it anywhere in your home, even if you have no electrical outlets in the desired room. Keep in mind, a monitor like this is not meant to be a quick solution. If you perform another type of test in your home and discover elevated levels, you’ll want to hire certified mitigation professionals to further test – and potentially take action if there is indeed a problem.

Radon monitors are ideal for homes that already have a mitigation system installed, or that have been tested before and monitoring is necessary – such as the levels are revealed to be pretty close to the action limit of 4.0 pCi/L.

DIY Radon Tools: Suncourt Radon Mitigation Fan Kit

We definitely recommend hiring an experienced radon mitigation professional to install a system unless you’re comfortable doing projects yourself. However, the Suncourt Radon Mitigation Fan Kit is an excellent mitigation solution for homeowners looking to take care of the problem themselves. It should be noted that the kit linked here – available through Home Depot online – does not include an air pressure indicator and you can not find one sold separately. If you need one, the best option is to purchase the complete kit in-store either through Home Depot, Lowe’s or a local hardware store.

Aside from the air pressure indicator, the kit includes everything you’ll need to vent radon out of your home – minus piping, of course.

DIY Radon Tools: Pro-Lab Radon Water Testing Kit

Although it’s much less likely, radon can also enter your home through your water supply. The Pro-Lab Radon In Water DIY Kit will allow you to test your water to identify whether or not the levels are a health concern for you and your family.

It’s pretty straightforward really, similar to a traditional radon detection kit. You collect samples and then mail them to a remote laboratory, whereupon they will send back the results.

More DIY Radon Tools

Of course, these are only a couple of DIY radon tools available on the market currently. If you’d like more resources, or a list of reliable radon testing equipment head on over to the respective pages.

By the end of 2014, Radon gas will have claimed the lives of over 22,000 Americans since it is a direct cause of lung cancer. The most unfortunate part about that is most who are diagnosed with lung cancer have absolutely no clue it even exists, or that it’s a significant health risk.

To put that into perspective a little more, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in many countries including the U.S. – second only to smoking. However, for non-smokers it is the leading cause of lung cancer.

That is why the United States Government, pushed by health agencies across the country, has declared October 20th through the 26th National Radon Action week. The idea is to boost awareness about the many health risks that radon gas poses and to educate homeowners on how to test their residence for it, and how to take action if a problem is discovered.

What is Radon? Why Do We Need National Radon Action Week?

It’s great to hear that the government is actually getting involved, but what is national radon action week for? Why is it such a big deal, and what is radon? These are likely some of the questions you may have, so we’ll start at the beginning.

Radon is a radioactive gas with no color, no taste and no smell. It is virtually indetectable unless you have a proprietary testing kit handy. Luckily, you can purchase DIY radon test kits at a local hardware store or online. You can also hire an experienced radon professional to test your home for you, which is a great idea because if elevated levels are discovered they can walk you through what comes next – the mitigation process.

Radon is a natural radioactive decay product of Uranium and other elements, which commonly exist in the soil and ground beneath our feet. Once released, the radon daughters – or gas – will seep up from the ground and into homes through cracks in the foundation, walls and flooring. Once inside it will collect in great amounts and continue to undergo radioactive decay. If people come into contact with high exposure levels, the radon daughters can enter their lungs and cling to the inner linings. This ultimately results in the nearby cells becoming exposed to radiation, causing cancer to form.

There are no short term symptoms of radon exposure just as there are no short term symptoms of lung cancer. In fact, by the time most people are diagnosed with lung cancer the disease has progressed beyond a curable state. That is why it is imperative that you take action sooner rather than later. That’s exactly why National Radon Action Week is important.

October 20th-26th, 2014 is National Radon Action Week

Since it is declared “national radon action week,” the focus will be on how families can combat the problem as opposed to teaching folks what radon actually is. The hope is that it will encourage U.S. residents to better understand that radon is a real threat, and that it can be a problem anywhere – regardless of geographical location. If you need more information about radon gas and the health threats it poses, you can find out plenty at Radon Resources.

As for testing your home, many companies, including SWAT Environmental are offering free radon testing kits during National Radion Action week to residents who are looking to do so. Take advantage of the opportunity now while you can, and have your home tested as soon as possible.

If you need to, you can find more information here about radon, testing and mitigation. You can also contact your local health department to find out more about local events during National Radon Action week.

The City of Des Moines, Iowa by Ron Reiring

There is a stigma associated with lung cancer, which alludes to it being solely a smoker’s disease. Unfortunately, that belief couldn’t be further from the truth. Pulmonary Specialist Dr. Brad Wilcox – who works for CIC Associates in Des Moines, Iowa – says that there is another significant cause for lung cancer.

“I think it certainly still exists that smoking is the only cause of lung cancer and I think it’s one of those things we need to get more public awareness that certainly radon exposure is a leading risk factor for lung cancer.”

Believe it or not, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in many countries – the first in non-smokers. In the U.S. alone it is responsible for the deaths of more than 21,000 each year. While there is a correlation between smoking and radon exposure – the risk for lung cancer increases when exposed to both elements – people who have never smoked a day in their life can still be affected by radon and as a result lung cancer. The most unfortunate part is that most people have absolutely no idea about radon.

Lung Cancer Survivors Speak Up About Radon

“In September 2010, I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and I was 39 when I was diagnosed. As a non-smoker and not around second hand smoke, yes I was very shocked it was lung,” says Lori Tassen, a mother of four.

After being diagnosed, she learned from friends about the existence of radon – a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can directly cause lung cancer due to long term exposure. Naturally, Tassen began researching radon and its associated dangers, and now she’s working to boost awareness about the problem.

“I’m hoping that we can raise awareness that in Iowa, especially lung cancer, doesn`t always come from smoking.”

It’s not just a problem isolated to Iowa, however. Radon can exist anywhere, regardless of geographical location. Since it’s a natural decay product of Uranium and other elements, which commonly exist in the soil and earth below our feet there’s no place immune to its presence. The deadly gas seeps into residences and buildings through cracks in the foundation, walls and flooring. Once inside, it collects in great amounts subjecting those who spend their time within to serious health issues. You see, radon has also been linked to a great deal of pulmonary diseases and disorders, as well.

About Radon Mitigation: How You Deal with Elevated Levels 

After Tassen became familiar with the problem she had her home tested for radon. It’s a virtually indetectable gas, but it can be discovered with proprietary testing equipment. Luckily, homeowners can purchase DIY tests online or at a local hardware store. You can also hire a certified radon professional to test your residence if you would rather go that route.

Tassen’s test returned elevated levels, so she had a mitigation system installed. Essentially, it’s a ventilation system that sucks radon out of the home and vents it safely outdoors.

Iowa is one of the areas of the country with the most potential for radon. As a result, local doctors know enough to inform their patients about it during a screening process.

“It’s part of our normal screening process now when patients come in we do ask them if they’ve been tested or their home tested for radon exposure and we talk to them about it,” says Dr. Wilcox.

Raising awareness about radon shouldn’t just be up to health physicians, however. The best way to help is to inform friends, family and colleagues about radon. Encourage others to read up on the deadly gas and its associated dangers. Everyone should also be familar with testing procedures and mitigation, of particular note is that both tasks are not expensive. It’s a common myth that radon can be a costly problem. Mitigation – which is the most expensive task related to radon – is not expensive at all, especially when you consider the health benefits of a clean indoor environment. A DIY radon test kit can be purchased for about $30, while the average price of a radon mitigation system – and installation – averages about $1,000-$2,500 depending on the home and system used.

The sooner everyone knows about radon, the sooner they can test their home and take action if there is a problem.

The deadly odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas radon can be a problem anywhere. The geographical location of a structure, type or age matters little. Since radon is a naturally occuring radioactive decay product of Uranium and other elements – which are commonly found in soul – it can pose a threat to anyone.

It seeps into residences, businesses and structures through cracks in the foundation, walls or flooring. Once inside, it collects in great amounts subjecting the residents within to prolonged exposure.

The biggest problem with the invisible gas radon, is that there are no short term symptoms and the health effects are caused after long term exposure. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in many countries, responsible for the deaths of more than 21,000 Americans every year. Lung cancer has an extremely high mortality rate because symptoms don’t generally show until the disease has progressed beyond a curable state. In that respect, prolonged exposure to radon can be extremely deadly.

The Invisible Gas Radon Poses a Threat to Servicemembers Living on Base in Japan

A report from the Department of Defense Instructor General expressly discusses the discovery of mold and radon gas problems in Japan’s military housing – specifically in Yokosuka naval base. The 2014 Military Housing Inspections report, states that mold and improper radon gas detection measures are posing “serious health hazards” to servicemembers living on base. Furthermore, the Inspector General found 1,057 code violations.

The unfortunate part is that this seems to be not just a problem in Japan, but a more widespread problem in military housing across the globe.

“Based on our inspection, the significant presence of mold and DOD’s current ad hoc approach to radon mitigation places unnecessary risk on the warfighter and their dependents.”

At Yokosuka, two buildings were found to contain elevated levels of the invisible radon gas at nearly six times that of the recommended level set by the U.S. EPA. In addition, a building at the Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Camp Courtney and Kadena Air Base was found to contain elevated levels. Also, a building at Naval Air Facility Atsugi which was found to have levels four times the recommended limit, although a second test showed levels below the limit. This shows a great example of why you should conduct multiple tests of a residence, to acquire more accurate readings.

We Need to Take Action Against the Invisible Gas Radon

The best thing we can do is pass on information about the deadly gas and encourage our families, friends, colleagues and acquaintances to test their own residence. Take action against the virtually indetectable gas and conduct a test in your own home. Better to take action now before health issues arise in your immediate family. At the least, the information above should prove that radon can exist anywhere – even in foreign military housing.

The city of Thunder Bay’s District Health Unit is offering the support and resources for residents, so that they may have their homes tested for the presence of the deadly gas radon. By encouraging more residents to have their homes tested and report the results, the Health Unit will have a more informative view on the radon levels in the city.

Starting October 1, 2014 city residents – more than 500 households total – will be able to get their hands on free radon testing kits.

“We want to find the prevalence of high radon in Thunder Bay and in what parts of the city the risk is highest,” says Lee Sieswerda, the manager of environmental health.

“The only way to know if a home has a high level of radon is to test for it. The puck-sized radon detectors will stay in the homes for three months, and then will be collected and sent away for analysis. Residents will be notified of their results.”

What is Radon?

Radon is a colorless, tasteless and odorless gas that seeps up from the ground soil and into homes through cracks in the foundation, walls and flooring. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and Canada. In the U.S. it’s responsible for more than 21,000 deaths each year, and in Canada more than 2,000 deaths.

The sad part is that there are no short term symptoms of radon and for the most part the health issues it causes can be easily prevented. One only needs to have their home tested for its presence, and if elevated levels are discovered a mitigation system needs to be installed.

The only way to discover whether or not it’s a problem is to test specifically for it. Simply put, if you don’t test you’ll never know whether or not you need to take action.

What if I Find Elevated Levels of Radon?

If city residents do, in fact find elevated levels of radon in their home after conducting a test, the District Health Unit will provide guidance and information on how to reduce it. More than likely, they will help residents get in touch with a certified radon mitigation professional who will offer a consultation and then take care of the problem. Radon mitigation systems are not too costly, ranging anywhere from $700 – $2500 depending on the system and equipment used. When you consider the fact that lung cancer has one of the highest mortality rates of all types of cancer, that cost doesn’t seem so foreboding. In light of everything, it’s actually pretty minimal.

We strongly urge Thunder Bay residents to take advantage of this opportunity, and conduct a radon test in their home.

As awareness grows, and knowledge on the deadly gas radon and its associated dangers become more widespread we’ll start to hear more and more about those who’ve had their lives affected by it. We’re willing to bet that there are quite a few folks out there who have been diagnosed with lung cancer, yet had no idea they were exposed to elevated levels of radon whether that be at home, work or somewhere else.

Prominent radon advocates are even having their own experiences with the deadly gas radon, after finding elevated levels in their own home. The manager of Spokane, Washington’s Air Quality Program is a perfect example of this scenario.

The Deadly Gas Radon Can Affect Anyone

Twa-le Abrahamson-Swan already knew all about radon, which is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas. As a frequent speaker about the dangers, she was even familiar with the fact that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and the first in non-smokers. She also knows that more than 21,000 Americans die every year as a direct result of lung cancer, contracted from long term exposure to the deadly gas radon.

What she didn’t know is that the levels of the dangerous gas in her home were so high. She found out when she tested her home for the presence of the deadly gas radon, something she was doing to become familiar with the process itself. What she discovered is that the levels in her home ranged from 33 pCi/L to 53 pCi/L.

For reference, the recommended action limit as set by the EPA is 4.0 pCi/L. As you can see, the levels in Swan’s home far exceeded that limit.

Knowing this, Swan wrote to the US House of Representatives requesting additional funding to further boost radon awareness.

“I don’t smoke; neither do my kids, but our risk for lung cancer is the same as each of us smoking 106 cigarettes, or five packs per day.”

Testing Your Home for the Deadly Gas Radon Is Important

Radon is difficult to detect. In fact, the only way to discover its presence is to test specifically for it. Perhaps, that’s why most people go their entire lives without ever knowing it exists. The sad part about that is there are no short term symptoms, which means most who are affected won’t even find out there’s a problem until it’s too late.

That’s exactly why you need to test your home for radon. Test it now, while you and your family are still in good health. If – god forbid – you are not in good health, it’s still a good idea to test your home to prevent any further problems.
