Kidde Radon Detection Kit

According to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) radon is the nations' second leading contributor to lung cancer, next to smoking. The US EPA and Surgeon General's Office estimate that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon.

nearly one in three homes checked in seven states had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA's recommended action level for radon exposure.

A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site. (25 mrem limit, 800 mrem exposure)
