During National Radon Action Month, Main Line Inspections, Inc. is committed to
increasing awareness of Radon by promoting testing of Radon in air and water.
What is Radon?
Radon is a harmful gas. You can't see, smell or taste it. Primary ways of Radon exposure are
inhalation and ingestion. Radon is released into your home through ways such as cracks in the
floor, gaps around service pipes, and the joints between floors and walls. When Radon is present
in well water, it can be released into your home during normal day-to-day activities such as
taking a shower. Testing is easy and inexpensive.
Interesting Facts
• Radon is considered a carcinogen (a proven cancer causing agent). In fact, the Surgeon
General warns that Radon is the second leading cause of Lung Cancer. This risk is
exponentially higher for smokers that are exposed to harmful Radon gases.
• Small children and their developing organs are especially at risk when exposed to Radon.
• The Pennsylvania DEP, USEPA, Surgeon General, American Lung Association, American
Medical Association, and National Safety Council recommend testing your home for Radon.
• If you find Radon, you can fix it. We recommend our Clients contact a Mitigation or
Treatment Professional after they receive their test results.
