This interesting graphic compares the EPA mortality rates of radon-induced lung cancer to some other well known cancers as documented in the National Cancer Institute’s SEER Report. While radon induced lung cancer accounts for only 14% of total lung cancer deaths, this is still a significant number of deaths as the graphic shows.
Radon Gas is directly responsible for more cancer deaths than many common cancer types. Sadly, unlike most other cancers, the source and cause of radon induced lung cancer is easily avoidable. Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers.
Testing your home for radon gas is easy to do, inexpensive, and just might save a life.
Test. Fix. Save a Life.
