The publication covers need-to-know information about preventing radon-related health risks for individuals living and working in the southern Appalachian mountain region of the United States
Radon is an ever present risk for those who live and work in the southern Appalachians. This area includes the wider A Healthier Home service area, including western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, the South Carolina Upcountry, and north Georgia.
Scientists say there is no safe level of radon, which is now the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
That’s why today A Healthier Home announces the publication of my latest e-book, “Radon Health Risk: What You Need to Know When Living or Working in the Southern Appalachians.”
You may hear healthy homes professionals talk about a “swath” of radon-rich soil that runs underneath much of the region. That’s because radon occurs naturally in the bedrock found underneath the mountains. Radon is created by the naturally occurring uranium that you find in soil or water. To be safe, the air quality of every mountain home deserves a closer look.
“Radon Health Risk: What You Need to Know When Living or Working in the Southern Appalachians,” is a 27-page e-book chock full of solid information and insights that you can put to use right now, without any special training or prior knowledge. Inside this book, I’ll walk you through the basics, step by step. You’ll learn:
- What radon is, what it does, and how it affects healthiness
- The risk factors for radon in WNC and southern Appalachians
- Signs that your home may have a radon problem
- Costs and decisions associated with radon testing
- What to do if radon is detected in your home
- Expectations for the radon mitigation process
- The dynamics of radon through charts and images
- And more!
As the title suggests, I specifically designed this e-book to provide information to folks just like you and me. We chose to live here in the mountains, but may have relocated from somewhere else. Or perhaps we’re first time home owners, parents, or grandparents who are concerned about the potential for radon health risks for our families. Whatever the case, we live and work and breathe here. The quality of the air we breathe matters a great deal to our healthiness.
Doesn’t your family deserves a healthy life in a healthy home free of radon risks? If I can be of help, please don’t hesitate to ask.
