Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Although smoking is the major cause of lung cancer, 10 to 15% of those diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked. 

The National Cancer Institute estimates that in 2011, there will be 221,130 new lung cancer cases and 156,940 lung cancer deaths.

As we enter into the heating season, this is an excellent time to test your home for this silent killer. 

Test kits are available at home stores and through the SIL Radon Awareness Task Force, Inc website www.silradon.org..

A listing of  Illinois licensed measurement personnel can be found at www.radon.illinois.gov.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. It is estimated that 21,000 Americans die every year as a result of radon induced lung cancer.

The only way to know if your house has elevated radon levels is to conduct a test. Free test kits are available in Illinois at the Illinois Emergency Management Website - http://radon.illinois.gov.

Further radon information is available at Allied Radon Services, Inc. website www.alliedradon.com or the Southern Illinois Radon Awareness Task Force website www.silradon.org.
