Asbestos, once hailed for its versatility and durability, is a naturally occurring mineral composed of thin, microscopic fibers. Renowned for its resistance to heat, fire, and chemicals, asbestos found widespread use in various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, throughout the 20th century. However, its harmful effects on human health have since become well-documented. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne, posing severe health risks upon inhalation. Prolonged exposure to asbestos has been linked to serious respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Due to its pervasive presence in older buildings and structures, proper identification and management of asbestos are paramount for ensuring the safety of occupants and workers. As such, professional asbestos testing and inspection services play a crucial role in safeguarding individuals and communities from the hazards associated with this hazardous substance.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. It forms naturally from the decay (breaking down) of radioactive elements, such as uranium, which are found in different amounts in soil and rock throughout the world. Radon gas in the soil and rock can move into the air and into underground water and surface water. ​ Radon is present outdoors and indoors. It is normally found at very low levels in outdoor air and in drinking water from rivers and lakes. It can be found at higher levels in the air in houses and other buildings, as well as in water from underground sources, such as well water. ​ For both adults and children, most exposure to radon comes from being indoors in homes, offices, schools, and other buildings. The levels of radon in homes and other buildings depend on the characteristics of the rock and soil in the area. As a result, radon levels vary greatly in different parts of the United States, sometimes even within neighborhoods. Elevated radon levels have been found in every state. ​ Radon gas given off by soil or rock can enter buildings through cracks in floors or walls; construction joints; or gaps in foundations around pipes, wires, or pumps. Radon levels are usually highest in the basement or crawl space. This level is closest to the soil or rock that is the source of the radon. Therefore, people who spend much of their time in basement rooms at home or at work have a greater risk for being exposed.

Being exposed to radon for a long period of time can lead to lung cancer. Radon gas in the air breaks down into tiny radioactive elements (radon progeny) that can lodge in the lining of the lungs, where they can give off radiation. This radiation can damage lung cells and eventually lead to lung cancer. Cigarette Smoking is by far the most common cause of lung cancer in the United States, but radon is the second leading cause. Scientists estimate that about 20,000 lung cancer deaths per year are related to radon. Exposure to the combination of radon gas and cigarette smoke creates a greater risk for lung cancer than either factor alone. Most radon-related lung cancers develop in smokers. However, radon is also thought to cause a significant number of lung cancer deaths among non-smokers in the United States each year.

The EPA recommends taking steps to lower radon levels if test results show levels of 4.0 pCi/L or higher. A variety of methods can be used to reduce radon levels in your home, such as sealing cracks in floors and walls or increasing ventilation through “sub-slab depressurization” using pipes and fans. The EPA recommends that you have a qualified contractor fix your home because lowering high radon levels requires specific technical knowledge and special skills.
