#DYK? Americans spend over 90% of their time indoors – and poor indoor air quality is a top environmental health risk.
One major risk you might not think about is radon, a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks inside your home.
Check out the infographic below to learn more – and remember to keep radon on your radar. Testing is easy, affordable, and it can save lives.
#TestFixSaveALife #StayAirAware
ALT An infographic titled "Know the Facts About Radon: Air Quality Awareness Week." There are illustrated graphics surrounded by radon facts, including a figure with a highlighted respiratory system, a pair of lungs, and a house. There is a banner reading "Test. Fix. Save a Life" with a link to EPA's radon page at the bottom of the graphic. All information on the infographic can be found at www.epa.gov/radon.

12/ For the scientists in the audience, this is the scatter plot
Given short period, and that I am not sure I am exactly duplicating the @Airthings processing algorithm for the @EconSenseInc data (dominates high values for tall short spike), this is VERY GOOD

8/ As an experimentalist, knowing quality of such home devices can vary a lot, wondered how well they work
A way to learn: intercompare. Did that in our house. Turned OFF radon fan during travel
Radon up when fan was off, down when on --> mitigation works!

4/ Unfortunately, radon mitigation is NOT required in most places, e.g. in the US.
It is voluntary. Construction & rental industries resists because of cost
E.g. student rental apts. next to us: high radon, NO mitigation system ==> higher lung cancer rates

3/ Radon in homes can be mitigated a limited cost:
- Put a plastic film over the ground
- And a fan that runs all the time (ours uses 75 W, not much). Sucks soil gas and expels outdoors.

2/ Radon is more of a problem in some places than others, depending on the rocks in the soil. Places with granite are worst. There are maps such as from EPA or Airthings.

1/ INTERCOMPARISON of AFFORDABLE HOME RADON SENSORS
[TDLR: they compare well]
Radon:
- invisible odorless radioactive gas
- Rises from ground & accumulates indoors
- 2nd leading cause of lung cancer

This is stemming off of our environmental conversation in class today. Radon is a common environmental hazard that is not often talked about. Do you know if your home has radon? One test could save multiple lives. #TestFixSaveALife #EtownPops

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. More than 1 in 4 homes in KS test high for #radon, but the only way to detect it is to test it. Test kits are available from county extension offices & hardware & builder's supply stores.
