Radon Alert Some forms of household pollution, however, are not of our own making. One ex- ample is radioactive radon gas which occurs naturally from the decay of uranium in rock and soil. Even -though you can't see it or smell it, radon gas is pre- sent in very low concentra- tions in almost every home. It sneaks in through cracks - and holes in the basement. Once inside, the radon at- taches to dust particles in the air and circulates around the home. Because the gas originates from geological formations, radon levels vary from province to pro- vince and house to house, changing every day.

If you are concerned about the level of radon in your home, check with your municipality or provincial ministry of health to deter- mine if your community has been identified as an area of concern. Also, easy-to-use home testing radon detec- tors are available to do your own sampling. If radon is found in your home, here are a number of ways to solve the problem: * Increase ventilation of outdoor air to replace the radon-laden indoor air. * Provide outside air in- takes for appliances, in- cluding the fireplace, so these don't consume the air in your house. * Cover or seal any radon entry points such as cracks and holes in basement foun- dation and walls, utility pipes and joints. * Use exhaust fans in air- tight enclosures. * Since the radiation par- ticles cling to airborne dust, keep your home as dust free as possible. Not only will these measures cut down on radon, but they will also reduce other forms of in- door air pollution. Making your home a healthy, safe place to live is one step towards creating a clean environment for all to enjoy.
