The Dangers of Radon Gas

Indoor air quality is a big concern for many homeowners due to seasonal allergies or other respiratory health problems. You may already know that working with a reputable indoor air quality company like Royal Class Service can put you on the offensive with common air contaminants, but our state-certified radon mitigation contractors can also help protect your family from the dangers of radon gas.

Radon Gas Symptoms

Many of the symptoms that come with extended radon exposure are in line with those for lung cancer, and often surface after the gas has been a problem for a long time.

What Are The Dangers of Radon Gas?

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers in the United States. When radon gas enters the body, it exposes the lungs to radiation. According to experts, small quantities of radon gas are harmless. With prolonged exposure to increased radon levels in your home or workplace, your chances of getting lung cancer increases significantly. Increased quantities of radon damage the cells that make up the lining of the lungs. The best way to reduce your risk is to limit your exposure to the radioactive gas, and, of course, to stop smoking as soon as possible.
