Silent, Odorless and in your house?

Radon Gas Is a colourless, odorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally from the decay of radioactive elements found in rock and soil.

Radon Gas Is released from the ground into outdoor air and is immediately diluted so it is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces, like homes, it can accumulate and cause health problems for you and your family.

Radon Gas gets in your home through fittings, well water, sump pumps, cracks in foundation and windows at or below ground level.

Radon Gas can cause lung cancer, leukemia, asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia.

Radon Gas has been found throughout Canada and yes, even locally within Peterborough, the Kawartha Lakes and Durham Region.
