The radon problem
Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers — and you can't see, smell, or taste it.
Radon is a radioactive gas that forms naturally as uranium in soil breaks down. It seeps up through cracks in foundations, around pipes, and through unsealed sump pits — and it concentrates in the lower levels of homes.
The Windsor-Essex Health Unit recommends that every home in Windsor-Essex be tested, because levels vary house-to-house, even on the same street.
Health Canada's guideline is 200 Bq/m³. Above that, you should take action. Most homes that test high can be brought down to under 100 Bq/m³ with a properly designed mitigation system.
