The Dangers of Radon Gas

EE&G Construction operates out of Miami Lakes, Florida, and consists of a team of environmental engineering staff with a proven reputation for providing economical solutions to complex engineering problems. As a related group of companies, EE&G Restoration Services, EE&G Environmental Services, and EE&G Construction are recognized in Florida as leaders in construction, environmental engineering, disaster response, and remediation.

Among the numerous services offered at EE&G Environmental Services is detecting and measuring radon gas. Known as the second largest cause of lung cancer today and responsible for thousands of deaths annually, radon moves into the air as it is produced from the radioactive breakdown of uranium in groundwater, bedrock, and soil. It can be found in various types of buildings, though the greatest risk for radon exposure is typically in residential homes. 

Radon cannot be detected by smell or taste and is nearly invisible, which makes testing the best way to determine its presence. All homes below the third floor should be tested for radon, according to the Surgeon General and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Fortunately, testing for radon can be performed quickly and inexpensively in only a few minutes.
