In this article, we assess the risk of radon gas to citizens of the state of Vermont. These days, it's common knowledge in Vermont that smoking is bad for you. When people think of smoking, they think of lung cancer. The basic reason for it comes down to the fact that one is breathing in carcinogenic gas on a frequent basis. It's no wonder that would lead to vastly increased chances of developing lung cancer. What many Vermont people don't know is that they may be breathing in a similar gas even if they're not a smoker. This gas is called radon, and it's the second most common cause of lung cancer in The Green Mountain State. |
What’s worse, it's totally invisible and has no scent or pigment. There's a multitude of people all over the country, including Vermont, who are breathing it in every day without knowing it. That's one of the reasons why radon testing is so important. One can usually acquire a radon testing kit fairly easily right here in Vermont. However, this should only be considered a preliminary measurement. If the results are positive, it's best to then call in the experts for further testing. They'll have more sensitive equipment. The experts will also understand which conditions might interfere with test results based on Vermont and Federal guidelines. |
If they confirm the presence of radon, the next step will be to determine where it originates and penetrates into the Vermont dwelling. In The Green Mountain State, radon will typically originate within the soil and migrate into the structure via the foundation voids. Radon occurs as a natural part of the Vermont environment. When one's outside, it's dispersed enough that there's no danger. However, buildings and especially basements can essentially “vacuum draw” concentrated radon inward. The difference in air pressure will essentially create a radon propelling vacuum within the envelope of the Vermont building. This can create very alarming radon levels at a very rapid rate. |
