The worst radiation ARE YOU LIVING WITH A SILENT KILLER? Radon is an invisible, odourless, tasteless gas and it is our worst radiation hazard. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer next to smoking. Research has shown that this radioac- tive gas, which occurs naturally in the soil, can seep into buildings and accumulate posing a health hazard to occupants. An estimated eight million homes in North America contain high levels. The Canadian Radon Detection Agency (CRNA) has test kits available that will determine radon levels in individual homes. A recent Consumers Union report "strongly urges that all homes be screened for radon" as seepage of the gas is a relatively easy problem to solve once detected. The CRDA is concerned over public apathy about this health hazard and hopes that homeowners will respond once they become aware of the seriousness of the radon problem. The CRDA is therefore making available to the public free infor- mation concerning radon gas in the home. This information can be obtained by sen- ding your name and address along with a 37 cent return postage stamp to: CRDA, RR 3, Cayuga, Ontario, NOA 1E0.
