Lifetime Radon Solutions and National Radon Action Month is the focus of the firm in January. The Environmental Protection Agency has set January as a reminder time to ensure that homes are free of radon. The naturally occurring radioactive gas known to cause cancer can build up to levels which are unsafe at any time, but people tend to spend more time in their homes during this time of year. Fortunately, testing for accumulations of the gas is easily accomplished.

The U.S. Surgeon General and the EPA has identified Radon gas as the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It is estimated that 20,000 American die each year due to radon exposure. In some parts of Waukesha County, Dodge County and Washington County as many as sixty percent of homes have radon levels above EPA guidelines on the main floor. Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas which occurs naturally in the ground and then is pulled into homes, businesses and schools.

A spokesperson for Lifetime Radon Solutions explained, "We want to urge all homeowners in the state of Wisconsin to have their homes tested for radon gas and mitigated if needed. 1 in every 10 homes in Wisconsin is predicted to have radon levels above 4.0pCi/L which is the EPA Action level for radon. Lifetime Radon Solutions has been in business for over 21 years covering all of Wisconsin and Minnesota helping homeowners stay safe from the dangers of radon gas. Individuals, groups, and organizations concerned about healthy people, homes, and communities are the driving force in getting the message out to the public about the dangers of indoor radon."

The good news is that if testing determines that there is a serious environmental risk, it can be reduced by using simple, proven techniques comparable to the cost of other minor home repair or improvement projects. Radon test kits are available at hardware stores, home improvement centers, and online. Kits come with easy-to-use testing and mailing instructions. Qualified radon professionals can also perform tests and fix elevated levels.
