Radon & Apartments

So far, this site has been posting about the dangers of an elevated concentration of radon in the house. However, not everyone lives in a house.

Millions live in apartments -- how can radon affect them?

The American Lung Association (ALA) offers the following warning to apartment owners:

"Any home can have a radon problem - even apartments if they are below the third floor. Testing for radon is a simple precaution that everyone should take. Homes with radon problems can be fixed."

One of the good things about testing in an apartment building is that several parties can split the cost of the radon testing kit, which costs from $10 to $30.

Investing a few coins in a healthier, longer life is a solid investment.
