Radon exposure can cause lung cancer. EPA estimates that there are approximately 21,000 annual radon-related lung cancer deaths in the U.S. every year, second only to tobacco smoke. The combination of radon exposure and smoking can greatly increase your chances of developing lung cancer.he results of a radon test will give you the level of your homeâs indoor radon level. EPA recommends that action is taken to reduce the radon level in your home if the test results are 4pCi/L or higher.
People should indeed know what their home radon levels are; the question is how. Being that the health risk of lung cancer is directly proportional to long-term exposure to radon, a short-term test is not only questionable in its validity, but virtually meaningless in the scope of long-term exposure.adon gas levels can regularly go up and down at any time and for a variety of reasons. Having a home tested for radon with a short-term test or short-term monitoring is at best a waste of money that provides misleading information.
