Kripke, one of the members of the President’s Cancer Panel, after hearing
testimony on the dangers of radon exposure. The answer is primarily the E.P.
A.
The risk of lung cancer is orders of magnitude higher for radon than the
risk caused by other cancer-causing agents the E.P.A. regulates. The agency
’s own Office of Inspector General found in 2008 that the E.P.A. failed
over a 20-year period to notify Congress that it was not reaching the goals
set by lawmakers to reduce indoor radon exposure and that the E.P.A. never
seriously considered an alternative approach.
Now the agency has decided to throw in the towel. The E.P.A.’s proposed
2013 budget would eliminate all money to help states promote radon awareness
, oversee professional testing and reduce the risks of exposure.

-----------------------
News Release
December 27, 2013
Contact information
New law requiring greater radon disclosure during home sales begins in
January
About 2 in 5 homes have dangerous levels of radon; every home should be
tested
A new law requiring more detailed disclosure and information about radon in
Minnesota homes during most residential real estate transactions will go
into effect January 1, 2014, state health officials said today.
The Minnesota Radon Awareness Act requires sellers to inform buyers whether
their home has been tested for radon and if so, what the levels are and
whether the home has been mitigated for radon.
Radon is the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths in the United
States and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. More than 21,
000 lung cancer deaths are attributed to radon each year in the U.S. ......

发帖数: 6339 | 7 What is a safe level of radon gas?
This is the simpler of the two questions. A safe level of radon gas is no
radon gas. .....
......
Your risk of lung cancer increases substantially with exposure to higher
radon levels. Lung cancer risk rises 16% per 2.7 pCi/L increase in radon
exposure. (World Health Organization, 2009)
What is an acceptable level of radon gas?
Radon Act 51 passed by Congress set the natural outdoor level of radon gas (
0.4 pCi/L) as the target radon level for indoor radon levels.
.....
To this end, the US EPA has set an action level of 4 pCi/L. At or above
this level of radon, the EPA recommends you take corrective measures to
reduce your exposure to radon gas.
This does not imply that a level below 4.0 pCi/L is considered acceptable,
as stated in the BEIR VI study. It is estimated that a reduction of radon
levels to below 2 pCi/L nationwide would likely reduce the yearly lung
cancer deaths attributed to radon by 50%.
However, even with an action level of 2.0 pCi/L, the cancer risk presented
by radon gas is still hundreds of times greater than the risks allowed for
carcinogens in our food and water. |
