Petak, 11 ožujka (HealthDay News) - to može biti teško da razmišljaju o
zračenja kao sadašnjost i ozbiljne ekološke zdravstvene skrbi u
Sjedinjene Američke Države, a kamoli jedan s potencijalno utjecati na gotovo svim
kuće u zemlji.
No, radioaktivni plin poznat kao radon (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemeniti plin, nastaju naravno, kao i propadanje proizvod radija. To je jedna od najgušće tvari je odgovoran za procijenjene
21.000 smrtnih slučajeva od raka pluća svake godine, prema US National
Cancer Institute.
"To je drugi vodeći uzrok raka pluća, i, za nepušače, to
je vodeći uzrok raka pluća ", rekao je Kristy Miller, glasnogovornica
za unutarnju okruženja podjela za zaštitu okoliša SAD
Agencije. "To je nevidljiva i bez mirisa. To ne uzrokuje nikakve simptome. Vi vjerojatno
može biti disanja u visokim razinama, a ni znati. "
radona (Radon (izgovara se /? re? D? n /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemeniti plin, koji se javljaju, naravno, kao i propadanje proizvoda radij. To je jedna od najgušće tvari plin nastaje razgradnjom urana u stijenama, tlu i
vode. To seeps se kroz tlo i na domove kroz osnivanje
pukotine i puzati prostora.
"To je prirodno pojavljuje propadanje proizvoda urana", rekao je dr. Michael
Thun, potpredsjednik epidemiologije i istraživanja za nadzor
American Cancer Society. "Radona (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86.

na koje mnogi ljudi su izloženi u rasponu od razinama. U usporedbi s
pušenje cigareta, to je vrlo mali rizik, ali preko stanovništva,
je značajan rizik. A, to je izbjeći. "
Vani, radon (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemeniti plin, pojavljuju prirodno kao propadanje proizvod radija. To je jedna od najgušće tvari seeping se od zemlje lebdi daleko u

To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemeniti plin, koji se javljaju, naravno, kao i propadanje proizvoda radij. To je jedna od najgušće tvari plin izloženost je da provjerite za visoke razine u kući.
"Ako jedna živi u području gdje radona (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemeniti plin , javlja se, naravno, kao i propadanje proizvod radija. To je jedna od najgušće tvari prevladava, to je dobra ideja da se
imati svoj dom testirali ", Thun, rekao je.
EPA preporučuje dvije razine test za radon (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemenite plina, javlja se, naravno, kao i propadanje proizvod radija. To je jedna od najgušće tvari. Prvo, homeowner
bi trebao kupiti kratkoročni test kit, mali uređaj koji je ostavio u kući
za dva dana do 90 dana, ovisno o kit.
Test kit, Miller je rekao, treba staviti:
- U mjestu gdje će imati pristup isti zrak koji je udahnuti
doma putnika. - Daleko od vrata i prozora.
- Na razini koja nije previsoka ni preniska.
- Na polici ili negdje gdje neće biti jostled.
Na kraju probnog razdoblja, homeowner šalje radona (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa , okusa plemeniti plin, koji se javljaju, naravno, kao i propadanje proizvod radija. To je jedna od najgušće tvarima kit
laboratorij za analizu, Miller, rekao je.
Ako test pokazuje da je radon (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86. To je radioaktivni, bezbojna, bez mirisa, okusa plemeniti plin, nastaju naravno, kao i propadanje proizvod radija. To je jedna od najgušće tvari razini registrira na 4 picocuries po
litri zraka, drugi test bi trebalo biti učinjeno, prema EPA
preporuke. Follow-up test može biti još jedan kratkoročni test ili
dugoročne test, koji traje više od 90 dana. Ako je prosječna dvaju
testovi i dalje iznad 4 PCI / L, a zatim homeowner trebali uzeti u obzir da
kuća fiksna.
Taj proces, zvan radon (Radon (izgovara se /? Re? D? N /, Ray-Don) je kemijski element s simbol Rn, a atomski broj 86.

In the summer, radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances levels in homes can be lower due to open windows and better ventilation. That's why homeowners should test in the winter, giving what Gammel calls a “worst-case scenario.”
Testing can be conducted by a professional such as Gammel or Walsh for roughly $100, depending on the home, but home test kits are available for $5.95 on www.radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86.

“People say, 'I've lived in this house for 20 years. What the heck, what you can't see can't hurt you,'” Faust said. “If it was purple, everyone would test.”
Gammel said most people don't encounter a radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances test until they go to sell their homes and prospective buyers hire an inspector.
“The cruel irony is, the homeowner usually ends up paying for it [by] lowering their price,” he said. “They might as well have fixed it earlier and enjoyed the clean air.”
Luckily, Walsh said, fixing a radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86.

Gammel said a professional installation can run from $1 to $2 per square foot of the house, depending on the home's foundation. He and Faust recommend retesting the home once snow is on the ground to make sure the system is working properly.
With cancer risks and real estate prices at stake, Walsh said, he's stunned at the number of people he encounters who have never conducted a radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86.

Radon in half tobique homes
0 119 days
Health: Study finds five public buildings in Maliseet community also have higher than acceptable levels of radioactive gas
TOBIQUE FIRST NATION – A disturbing new study shows that nearly half the homes in Tobique First Nation are polluted by an invisible, odourless gas that can cause lung cancer.
The band council held a special public meeting Tuesday afternoon to answer people's concerns about radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances gas. Alongside two band councillors were several professionals who talked about the health risks and what to do to stop the naturally occurring radioactive gas from seeping underground into homes.
Due to overcrowding and the poor state of many of the houses in the Maliseet community, band councillor Darrah Bear fears up to 700 people could be affected.
“The chief and council are forced to decide between helping someone whose porch just collapsed and someone who's been exposed to radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances gas,” Bear, who was clearly frustrated, said after the meeting at the large bingo hall. “We're looking at the need for emergency relief funding from the federal government.”
A consultant who was hired by the council to help solve the problem suggested that the average cost of fixing each home would be about $2,000, meaning the total bill for the 150 or so polluted homes could be $300,000 – equivalent to the First Nation's entire capital budget this year.
Making matters worse, five of six major public buildings – Tobique Child and Family Services, Tobique Headstart and Daycare, Tobique Wellness Centre, Tobique Training Centre/Elementary School and the Wolastoqewyik Healing Lodge – also have higher than acceptable levels of the gas.
The study was initiated after Health Canada decided to test public buildings after the acceptable level of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances exposure was lowered in recent years. The allowable threshold is now below 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Once it was discovered that the public buildings in Tobique First Nation were polluted, the council decided to initiate wider testing in the community.
In some cases, the findings were shocking. Seventeen homes were found to have 10 times the limit.
For Deborah Bear-Brideau, finding out her well-kept home topped the entire list was devastating. The test found that her basement, the same place her 13-year-old daughter Kendra used to spend most of her time after school and on weekends in the rec room, had an exposure level of 3,763 becquerels per cubic metre.
“When I found out, I wanted to flee, run away,” said Bear-Brideau, who also raised her now-adult son in the chalet-style home. “I was that scared.”
Bear-Brideau's family built the home largely by themselves on a picturesque, wooded lot beside the Tobique River 16 years ago. The family, including her late father, did the carpentry and finishing work, but they hired contractors to do the foundation, plumbing and electrical work.
Bear-Brideau didn't notice the development of large cracks because she had covered the cold basement floor with carpets. Tobique First Nation also has no building inspector to check on the quality of construction work.
Alarmed by the high levels of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances in her home, the band sent workers to seal about 65 feet of cracks in the basement floor with a sealant that looks something like black toothpaste. They also blocked an old sump pump opening and are supposed to return to do more work by one of the walls.
“I won't let my daughter down here to use the computer or TV anymore,” said Bear-Brideau, 42, who doesn't want to lose her home. Other than the cracks, there's nothing that would tell you there's something seriously wrong with the house. It's neat, tidy and appears to be well built.
At the meeting, health officials tried to convince the 25 or so people who showed up not to panic. Barbara MacKinnon, the president and CEO of the New Brunswick Lung Association, explained that the risks increase with genetic predisposition, higher levels of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances and prolonged exposure. By far, the leading cause of lung cancer is smoking, but the combination of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances gas exposure and smoking have a big multiplier effect.
MacKinnon recommended that if a home's radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances level is between 200 and 600 becquerels, it should be repaired within two years. If it's over that level, she recommended having it fixed within a year.
This means closing entry points for radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances, including cracks, joints, sump pump openings and floor drains. Open fireplaces and unbalanced ventilation systems can also draw radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances gas from the ground.
Many people at the meeting asked if radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances caused other diseases – to which the answer was no.
Still, people were disturbed that they could have been living with radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances exposure for much longer than two years.
“It seems that certain people get their housing fixed faster than others around here,” said Barbara Nicholas, 60, an unemployed playwright who complained she hadn't seen the results of her testing yet. “I don't have the money to fix anything. You should see my subfloor. It's like walking on a sponge.”
Metro Vows To Continue Testing Schools For Radon
0 119 days
By Ben Hall
Investigative Reporter
Metro school officials are using the summer to lower levels of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances gas in classrooms across Davidson County.
Maintenance crews have installed radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances fans at three schools and the health department is working to test every school.
The testing came after a NewsChannel 5 investigation revealed that Metro forgot about or ignored a law passed by the Metro council in the late 1980′s.
The law requires radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances testing at all Metro schools and has now been added to the Metro Code of Laws.
Just this month, the federal government launched a new effort to warn people about the dangers of the odorless, invisible gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Gloria Linnertz knows how deadly the gas can be.
She was by her husband's side when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
“We were devastated, how could this happen?” Linnertz recalled.
They immediately questioned how a healthy man who hadn't smoked in more than 20 years could get lung cancer.
“Joe told me, he said, 'I'm not afraid to die,'” Linnertz said.
Sadly, it did not take long. Just six weeks later, Joe died.
Doctors were the first to tell Gloria that her husband's cancer might have been the result of the naturally occurring gas called radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances.
“I tested the house. It was high. I tested again, and it came back even higher,” Linnertz remembers.
Their home of 18 years had radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances levels four times higher than the EPA action level.
She's now convinced radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances killed her husband, and the EPA believes it kills more than 20,000 people every year.
That's more than the number of people killed in drunk driving accidents.
“I had no idea what radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances was, or what it could do. I was very confident in my ignorance,” Linnertz said.
She is now part of an organization called CANSAR which seeks to warn people about the dangers of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances.
She travels the country with pictures of people who died from lung cancer and who were exposed to high levels.
“Tennessee has some of the highest, Middle Tennessee has some of the highest levels in the country,” Linnertz said.
She has family in our area, and was surprised when she saw our series of reports that revealed Metro schools knew it had a serious radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances problem in 1989, but hadn't tested in more than 20 years.
“The EPA has suggested this many years ago that all schools need to be tested,” Linnertz said.
In fact just this month, the EPA launched a new nationwide effort to protect people from radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances gas asserting once again that all schools should be tested.
Metro School Board Chair Gracie Porter says after NewsChannel 5 Investigates revealed an apparently overlooked law that required radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances testing, more than a third of all Metro schools have now been tested.
Many of the schools have high levels.
Forty one schools have rooms above the EPA action level.
Tests show 21 other schools in which every classroom tested, meets the EPA standard.
Metro has put in seven radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium. It is one of the densest substances fans at three schools. They cost about $1,000 each to install.
“The cost concerns me, but also safety concerns me,” said School Board Chair Gracie Porter.
“As we move forward with the testing, I think it's a good thing I really do.”
Porter said Metro will find the money to make sure schools are safe, and they will all be tested.
It makes Gloria Linnertz happy.
She said too often people ignore a gas you can't see or smell — despite what it can do.
“There are people all over the country who didn't know they were living with high levels of radon (Radon (pronounced /?re?d?n/, RAY-don) is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of radium.
