A local company is urging residents to be aware of the dangers posed by radon gas, the second leading cause of lung cancer in Ireland. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can accumulate in homes and buildings, posing serious health risks when inhaled over long periods.
With lung cancer rates rising, experts warn that radon exposure is often an unseen threat. The company is working to raise awareness and encourage people to test their homes for radon levels, as early detection can help mitigate health risks.
“Radon is a silent killer, and many people don’t realize how dangerous it can be until it’s too late,” said Yvonne Power from Radon Services Ireland. “We’re committed to educating the public and offering services to reduce radon levels in homes.”
Residents are advised to check radon levels in their homes to ensure they are within safe limits and take necessary precautions to protect their health.
