Uses and Pictures of Radon (Radon Testers)

  The following are uses of radon...

• Earthquake prediction

• Therapeutic use (Radon is obtained in hospitals for therapeutic use by pumping the radon from a radium source and sealing it in extremely small tubes so the radon can be given to the patients. This practice for the most part has been discontinued as hospitals can get the tubes of radon directly from suppliers, who make up the small tubes with the desired activity for the day of use)

• Treatment of cancer

     There are not many available pictures of Radon because it is a colorless/odorless gas. One of the only picture available is the atom structure (shown on the homepage) and these few radon testers shown below...

"Radon gas has been found in varying amounts in every state in the U.S., killing up to 30,000 people each year from lung cancer. Our professional radon gas test kit offers you a professional radon analysis of your home or office.  If you already conducted a radon test and your results were above 4 pci/L, we strongly recommend that you immediately do a repeat test for result confirmation before you take any further action.  Also, if your home or office uses well water, this could be the source of your radon problem.  We suggest using our professional radon test kit for well water."

Unlike charcoal exposure kits which test for an average exposure over a long period of time, the Safety Siren lets you know immediately when unsafe levels of radon gas are present. No home should be without one! The US Surgeon General identified Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer. The EPA estimated that Radon is responsible for over 25,000 deaths annually, 10 times greater than from Carbon Monoxide. Radon is a natural radioactive gas formed by uranium decaying in the earth's soil. It is , odorless and invisible. Radon can seep through your home's foundation and collect in high concentrations within the living areas of your home. Radon levels in a home can vary on a daily basis between safe and hazardous."
