According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment all 64 counties in Colorado are at high risk for radon, including our very own Routt and Grand Counties.
What is radon?
Radon is an element that is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. It’s a gas and pretty hard to detect without the proper equipment. Naturally occurring, it isn’t a pollutant caused by humans. Instead, it “lives” in the ground and can get into homes. It naturally lives in the earth’s soil, and sometimes slowly seeps from the ground into your home through cracks, pipes, and other weak spots.
So why is radon bad for you and your family?
Well, to start radon is radioactive. Radon has been found to cause cancer and other health problems with long-term exposure. As radon naturally emanates from the earth’s soil, it can get trapped inside your home or property. Large enough amounts can cause health problems.
