Radon Myth #9

Myth #9 – Having lived in my house for many years it wouldn’t matter if I took action against radon now. This is the least fortunate of all the radon myths.

Fact: As the National Cancer Institute notes, “Long-term exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer.” It is long-term exposure that matters, so it’s never really too late to check your home for radon. At the very least, you might find out you do have high radon levels, allowing you to take action to protect your home.
