Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and can go undetected. Radon is measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) and it is suggested by the EPA that levels higher than 4 pCi/L be reduced. 1 pCi/L is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes per day. Radon becomes present due to the decay of uranium found in the soil and rocks. Installing a Radon Mitigation system from MidAmerica Basement Systems will significantly decrease the levels in your home, making it safer to breathe. Radon Mitigation systems depressurize the soil and ground under the concrete basement by pulling the gases from the ground, preventing them from seeping into the home, and disbursed into the air.
The City Hall building of Moline recently went through the process of adding Radon Mitigation. This two-building complex needed three mitigation systems due to the size of the buildings. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. In its natural state uranium can change into radon. During the transformation, the noble gas radon is released. It then travels out of the earth and gets trapped in our homes and businesses.
