A colorless, odorless gas is likely linked to an alarming rise in lung cancer. Although traditionally thought of as a smoker's disease, a surprising 15–20% of newly diagnosed lung cancers are among non-smokers in their 40s & 50s. The culprit? Radon gas medicalxpress.com/news/2024-…

Lung cancer isn't just a smoker's disease. Secondhand smoke, air pollution, radon, and asbestos exposure are all major risk factors. It's essential to understand these facts to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Learn more about the risks in the link.

#Radon is the 2nd most common cause of #LungCancer, but little is known about why. LCRF grantee Dr. Aria Vaishnavi is studying radon exposure in mice, which could lead to more effective treatment and prevention. Watch more at LCRF.org/am4c6 @DrAriaV

We had a great meeting today with Senator Wise to discuss his openness to working with us to develop radon policy in our schools. The surgeon general warns it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer and we know young lungs are even more vulnerable to the toxic gas! He listened!

Welcome to the #WallofShame. The consequence of installing a radon fan in a basement potentially exposes you to high levels of cancer-causing radon gas. The fan must be installed outside of the building to prevent potential re-entrainment. If this is your basement, let's talk!
