About D&D Radon Solutions

Radon is an odorless, colorless, radioactive gas that seeps naturally from the soil into homes. Because it’s invisible and tasteless, many families don’t realize it’s there until health is affected.

• Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second leading cause overall behind smoking.
• Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels damages lung tissue, increasing cancer risk — even without symptoms.

• About 7 in 10 Iowa homes have radon levels at or above the EPA’s action level (4 picocuries per liter), far above the U.S. average.
• The average radon level in Iowa homes is more than six times the national average.
• Radon contributes to an estimated 400 lung cancer deaths in Iowa every year.

• Radon can enter any home regardless of age or type of foundation.
• You can’t rely on smell, sight, or intuition — the only way to know is through testing.
• Testing is inexpensive, quick, and mitigation can dramatically reduce your family’s risk.
