The Floyd County, Indiana, Community Portal provides an infographic on radon to simply explain the importance of radon in the home.
It asks and answers three questions:
What is Radon?
Why Should I Care?
What Can I Do?
The info-graphic compares cigarettes (2.5 each day) as an equivalent of 1 pCi/L of radon in air in your home. The poster also notes the importance of seasonal spikes on radon in the home.
For complete detail on radon and health, the portal refers to the Indiana State Department of Health (IDSH) https://www.in.gov/isdh/24346.htm Other resources are listed: American Lung Association CDC Radon Information EPA Radon Awareness Month
