Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction
Author: United States. Environmental Protection Agency
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781548683955
Category : Housing and health
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
You cannot see, smell or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk for respiratory issues. Radon has been classified as a known human carcinogen and has been recognized as a significant health problem by groups such as the Centers for Disease Control, the American Lung Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Public Health Association. As such, risks from in-home radon exposure have been a major concern for the EPA. The "Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction: How to Fix Your Home" Contains information about home radon mitigation: radon reduction techniques and radon reduction systems.

Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781500823368

Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter your home through well water. Your home can trap radon inside.

WHO Handbook on Indoor Radon
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9241547677
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This handbook focuses on residential radon exposure from a public health point of view and provides detailed recommendations on reducing health risks from radon and sound policy options for preventing and mitigating radon exposure. The material in the handbook reflects the epidemiological evidence that indoor radon exposure is responsible for a substantial number of lung cancers in the general population. Information is provided on the selection of devices to measure radon levels and on procedures for the reliable measurement of these levels. Discussed also are control options for radon in new dwellings, radon reduction in existing dwellings as well as assessment of the costs and benefits of different radon prevention and remedial actions. Also covered are radon risk communication strategies and organization of national radon programs.--Publisher's description.

Radon in Ground Water
Author: National Water Well Assoc.
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000157547
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 566
Book Description
This new book focuses on sampling and analysis, radon and radium in water supply wells, predictive models, geologic and hydrogeologic controls that influence radon occurrence, monitoring radon and other radioactivity from geologic sources and mining impacts on occurrence of radioactivity in ground water. Also discussed are occurrence, testing, treatment, and reduction of radon from groundwater. Because the most severe health hazard from indoor radioactivity results from inhalation of short-lived radioactive decay products of radon, the EPA scheduled a major conference early in 1987 on Radon, Radium, and Other Radioactivity in Ground Water-Hydrogeologic Impact and Application to Indoor Airborne Contamination. The result is this book.
