Most people don't know that #anyonewithlungs can get lung cancer - not just those who smoke. In fact, environmental factors like exposure to radioactive #radon gas can damage the lungs when breathed and can result in a devastating lung cancer diagnosis. Why?? Because you can't see, smell, or taste radon (and most people have never heard of it!) it can often go undetected in our homes and buildings. Elevated levels of radon have been found in homes and buildings all across the U.S. Testing your home is simple. If your levels are elevated, radon mitigation could be the difference in your stakeholders' health. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth American Lung Association

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths according to the World Health Organization (WHO). On World Lung Cancer Day, we reflect on the global impact of this disease and recognize the critical role clean air technologies have in reducing exposure to harmful dust emissions that lead to serious health risks. Let's work together to combat lung cancer and strive for a Clean Air Future.

Radon is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year. The EPA and the American Lung Association agree that long term exposure to elevated levels of radon pose a significant health risk to you and your family. The risk is even greater if you are a smoker. Since radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, the only way to determine if radon is in your home is by testing.     EMSL provides testing for radon in air, water, and soil. To learn more about radon testing, visit https://lnkd.in/eahSphUy.    To learn more about EMSL’s laboratory locations, services, and accreditations, visit www.EMSL.com or call 800.220.3675 (EST) / 866.798.1089 (PST).    #Radon #RadonTesting #LungCancer #Testing
