I have been an Environmental Professional for over 40 years, hold a BS in Chemistry, a MS in Environmental Science and was focused on other things when we discovered the hazard that our built environment of our homes exposes us to a hazardous cancer causing level of radioactive materials. I have always known that the earths’ near surface atmosphere had a radioactive characteristic, but never looked at it carefully until 2007. Today my reality is that the greatest natural environmental hazard to my own personal health and life is from accumulation of Radon and its decay products in the homes I choose to live and buildings that I occupy. It is totally senseless or me or anyone to ignore the warning of the Cancer Risk of Radon. It is so easy and inexpensive to test for Radon and can be fixed for less than a day in the hospital, if an issue is found.
