Trinity, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/19/2012 -- The poisonous gas of radon is responsible for 20,000 deaths a year in the United States and thus has become the number one target for the U.S. EPA and the surgeon general’s office. Radon is the second largest cause of lung cancer and costs the United States over $2 billion dollars per year in both direct and indirect health care costs. 1 in 3 homes that are checked in seven states had levels of radon over 4 pCi/L, (the EPA;s recommended action level for radon exposure.) Although this might not mean much to most, this level of 4pCi/L is approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if a family were to stand next to a fence of a radioactive waste site.
